How do I tell if my copy of Hollywood is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 238.053, C-VSTP 493, 2 121 245, 2056 404) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CM C - VSTP 493 238053 A and CM C - VSTP 493 238053 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.
