The earliest pressings are from 1983, in UK, Australia, Germany, Ireland and more. One of them is Polydor POLD 5121.
How do I tell if my copy of Reflections is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use POLD 5121, 815 354-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, POLD 5121 A//1▽420 T 11 2 B and POLD 5121 B//1▽420 T 11 4.

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.
