11 vinyl pressings of Erotic Soul / I'm Hooked On You are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Canada, US, Australia, Japan. One of them is Penny Farthing PD 100.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PD 100, Disco 3007, 5N-259, 5N-Disco-3007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PD 100 AS JAMF and PD 100 BS JAMF. 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.
