12 vinyl pressings of What Am I Crying For? / All In Your Mind are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1972 and 1973.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 7002, 2006-154, 2006 154, S-7002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S7002 72L3835 ⓢ ⓟ1972 MGM Records, Inc. 28565 (Ƨ) and S7002 72L3836 ⓢ ⓟ1972 MGM Records, Inc. 29219. 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.
