14 vinyl pressings of Do It / Hanky Panky are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1970 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Germany, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Bellaphon BF 18022.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BF 18022, B-580, OSS-9347, MSS.2306) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BF 18022 BZ 471 and BF 18022 BZ 472 2. 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.
