13 vinyl pressings of One Man Show Opgenomen In Theater Carré, Amsterdam are listed here, from 2 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Netherlands, New Zealand. One of them is His Master's Voice CLPH 111.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLPH 111, BOSP 14) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HA004578-10 2 XFA 121 III and HY 004579-13 2 xfa 122.-3. 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.
