Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2531 138) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2531138 2̶5̶3̶1̶0̶1̶4̶ A/1 1C1 2563 953 S 5=6 320 2 and 2531138 2̶5̶3̶1̶0̶1̶4̶ B/2 1C2 2563 953=2S6 320 5 12. 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.
