11 vinyl pressings of Gotta Get It are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, France. One of them is Brunswick BL 754210.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BL 754210, 940 534) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P BMG 5083 RE1-1A and P BMG 5084 RE1-1A. 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.
