33 vinyl pressings of Cherish / All I Wanna Do Is Touch You are listed here, from 16 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Australia, France, Jamaica and more. One of them is Bell Records 45,150, released October 1971.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45,150, Bell 45-150, BLL-9727, 2008 002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1097 SG ARP and 1098 SG ARP. 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.
