   I would say they have some value.  One way to see what pressing a record   
   was is to look in the runoff.  You will often see some markings there--   
   twist the album in a strong light to get a better view.  Once you have   
   those markings, go to google and type them in, something might come up.   
      
   Other clues are the matrix number, what type of label the record has and   
   also mono/stereo.  You can usually tell if it is mono or stereo by the   
   label or the matrix number or the cover.  Not always though as sometimes   
   a mono record got released with the stereo cover and vice versa.   
      
   With Pink Floyd there are no doubt websites probably devoted to different   
   pressings.
