14 vinyl pressings of Do it, Do It Again are listed here, from 8 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in Europe, UK, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is CBS CBS 6094.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 6094, S EPC 6094, ES 287, BAC 461842) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EPC 01-6094-1A-1 and EPC 01-6094-1B-1. 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.
