12 vinyl pressings of You Want It, You Got It are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1972 and 1989.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Germany, Japan. One of them is Westbound Records WB 2013.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WB 2013, 6310 207, BLPS 19083, YS-2688-JN) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WB-1̶2̶ 2013-A CANADIAN LTD. and WB-2013-B CANADIAN LTD.. 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.
