21 vinyl pressings of I Don't Want To Go On Without You are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1976 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in UK, Australia, Austria, Barbados and more. One of them is Mountain TOP 21, released November 1976.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TOP 21, PSLP 191, 6078 248, 6078 249) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
