12 vinyl pressings of Sugar Baby Love / The Same Song are listed here, from 9 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in France, Angola, Argentina, Brazil and more. One of them is CBS CBS 2484, released June 1974.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CBS 2484, SSC-1326, 22.699, 66249) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CBS 2484 A1 DF and CBS 2484 B1. 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.
