12 vinyl pressings of Double Lovin' are listed here, from 7 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Japan, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is MGM Records K14259, released May 1971.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use K14259, K-14259, K 14259, CD-1003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K14259 71L2160 and K14259 71L2170. 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.
