16 vinyl pressings of Do Something To Me are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, South Africa, Canada, France and more. One of them is Roulette R-7024.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use R-7024, M-249, ROL 817, 45 VR. 195040) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 19487 and 19488. 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.
