20 vinyl pressings of Get A Whiff A This are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1971 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Bronze ILPS 9157, released August 1971.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9157, SD 33-367, 33-367, 85 528 IT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILPS 9157 A-1U and ILPS 9157 B-1U. 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.
