Collection II was first pressed on vinyl in 1995. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAROL 7515-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CAR-7515-SIDE 1 1-1 SRC MASTERED BY TRUTONE Pa 10-95 and CAR-7515-SIDE 2 1-1 MASTERED BY TRUTONE Pa 10-95. 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.
