18 vinyl pressings of 20th And 30th Anniversary are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1969 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in Germany. One of them is MPS Records MPS 15 207 ST.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MPS 15 207 ST) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 ℗ 1969 A9 ◇Z A1 25 679389 A MPS 15207 A and 1 ℗ 1969 A9 ◇Z A1 25 679389 B MPS 15207 B. 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.
