19 vinyl pressings of Kiddio / The Same One are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1960 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Mercury 71652x45.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 71652x45, 71652X45, 45-AMT 1109, AMT 1109) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, [YM 19855] 1 E-6078 and [YM 18697] 1 E-6077. 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.
