12 vinyl pressings of I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself are listed here, from 1 country.
The earliest pressings are from 2021, in US. One of them is Compass Records 7 4781 1, released August 6, 2021.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7 4781 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, COMLP4781/HDP1791-A ML21061P Welcome to 1979 and COMLP4781/HDP1791-B ML21061P Welcome to 1979. 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.
