54 vinyl pressings of (You're) Having My Baby / Papa are listed here, from 26 countries, released between 1974 and 1985.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Japan, Argentina and more. One of them is United Artists Records UA-XW454-W, released June 1974.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UA-XW454-W, UA-XW 454-W, UP 35713, HIT-2151) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P UAST 14159 X [Artisan logo] and P UAST 14160-Re1 [Artisan logo]. 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.
