23 vinyl pressings of See Saw / My Song are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, France, Sweden, Australia and more. One of them is Atlantic 2574, released November 1968.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2574, A-2574, 45-2574, 650 127) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-14330 LY and A-14318 LY. 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.
