The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, Canada. One of them is Increase Records INCM 2002, released June 1970.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use INCM 2002, INCM: 2002, INCR 1957, RCC 23400) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, INCM 200218618 TM 4437 and INCM 200218619 TM 4438. 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.
