12 vinyl pressings of You Did Something To Me are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Barbados, Japan. One of them is Hi Records 5N 2270.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 5N 2270, 45-2270, HI 2270, 45-2270-DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Hi 2822 and Hi 2821. 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.
