32 vinyl pressings of Yo-Yo / Keep On My Side are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1971 and 1972.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use K-14295, K 14295, 2006 075, 27620010) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K14295 71L2579-2 ∆85977 and K14295 71L2583-2 ∆85978. 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.
