21 vinyl pressings of One Monkey Don't Stop No Show are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Hot Wax HS 7110.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HS 7110, HWK-4525, 7110X, BDGT 186X) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 10909PA HALL and 10909PB-1 HALL. 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.
