15 pressings came out in 1967, the album's first year, in 9 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

26 vinyl pressings of Album Nº 5 are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1967 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in France, Brazil, Canada, Chile and more. One of them is Philips 840.597 PY.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 840.597 PY, 844.729 BY, P 77.275 L, STLP 999.000) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI AA 840597 1Y 380 D1 840597 PY A2 and PHI AA 840597 2Y 380 840597 PY A2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
