21 vinyl pressings of Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin' are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1989 and 2006.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TENX 290, TEN 290, TENR 290, TENX 290 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TENX 290 A-1U-1-2 D TOWN HOUSE DMM and TENX 290 B-1U-1-1 D. 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.
