Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2720 031, MG 9493-9, 1 OEL 701) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 00 2561 067 =5 S1 1 Ⓟ 1971 G71 ♢G P and 00 2561 967 = 3 S2 G 1 Ⓟ 1971 D71 ♢V. 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.
