11 vinyl pressings of Don't It Make You Wonder are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is CBS S CBS 6702.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S CBS 6702, 3-10819, CBS S 6694, CBS 6694) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CBS S 6702 A1 and CBS S 6702 B1. 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.
