12 vinyl pressings of Z-licious are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, UK, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Lejoint LEJ 17000.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LEJ 17000, SHU 8532, BGLP-12413, ACV 130 004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 SAHS 1734 -1 STERLING C and T1 SAHS 1735 - 2 STERLING. 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.
