The earliest pressings are from 2020, in UK, US. One of them is Island Records 0869212, released June 5, 2020.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0869212, 0877089, 0869214, 0869288) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 0602508692888 - A K TUFF ALCHEMY MPO 20 159024 and 0602508692888 - B K TUFF ALCHEMY MPO 20 159024. 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.
