11 vinyl pressings of Do It All Night are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in Germany, US, France, Greece and more. One of them is BASF 00 22876-2.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 00 22876-2, AC 12870-3, PYE D 123, PYE 71073) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-2858 A1/S3A 76 Made in Germany. 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.
