Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MN 10 007/08) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MOS XX 10008 LPL 2464 1Y380 A and POL 10008 LPL 2464 2Y380 A 1. 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.
