13 vinyl pressings of Baby Baby are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1991 and 2016.
The earliest pressings are from 1991, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records 390 626-7.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 390 626-7, AMY 727, AM 727, 75021 7516 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 390626-7-A1 and 390626-7-B2. 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.
