Do You Wanna Dance? was first pressed on vinyl in 1973. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
15 pressings came out in 1973, the album's first year, in 12 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

16 vinyl pressings of Do You Wanna Dance? are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1973 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1973, in UK, Argentina, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Bell Records BELL 1336, released October 19, 1973.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BELL 1336, 2008 212, 61891, 61 891) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BELL 1336 A-1U and BELL 1336 B-1U. 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.
