15 vinyl pressings of I Wonder What She's Doing Tonite? are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1968 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, Argentina, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is A&M Records SP 4143, released April 16, 1968.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 4143, SP-4143, A-5020, SAML-932,846) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, o SP 4185- (RE-1)-7 1 T A1 and SP 4186- (RE-1)-7 1 o T A1. 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.
