How many vinyl pressings of Respect are there?

When was Respect first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Verve Records V-8705.
How do I tell if my copy of Respect is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V-8705, V6-8705, VLP 9182, SVLP 9182) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, (etched) V-8705 MG-1036-1 (stamped) 33 VAN GELDER and (etched) V-8705 MG-1037 (stamped) 11 VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Respect on vinyl worth?
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.
