15 vinyl pressings of Love Goes On are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, Barbados, Canada, Ireland and more. One of them is Philips 9101 095.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9101 095, 9120 179, STAR 1001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 9101095 1Y//1▽420 04 1 4 11 RC and 9101095 2Y//1▽420 04 14 4. 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.
