10 vinyl pressings of "I Don't Get No Respect" are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1970 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, Canada. One of them is Bell Records BELL 6040.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BELL 6040) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6040-M-A 12-23-69 STERLING RL and 6040-M-B 12-23-69 STERLING RL. 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.
