Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TUR 103, DEA 1049, TUR 202, TUR 211) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TUR 103 A and TUR 103 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.
