11 vinyl pressings of Do Wah Nanny are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Germany, UK, France, Jamaica and more. One of them is Kama Sutra 2013 039.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2013 039, KA 535, 2013 038, 61 500 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 Ⓟ 1971 M71 ◊K C 00 2013 039 S 1 and 1 Ⓟ 1971 M71 ◊K C 00 2013 039 S 2. 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.
