21 vinyl pressings of Hot Stuff / Bad Girls are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, South Africa, Bolivia, Canada and more. One of them is Casablanca NBD 20167.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NBD 20167, NBD 20167 AS, NBD 20167 DJ, XPD 1735) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NBD 20167 AS. 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.
