30 vinyl pressings of L'été Indien are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1975 and 1988.
The earliest pressings are from 1975, in France, Canada, Greece, Philippines and more. One of them is Philips 9101 017.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 9101 017, 9120 030, 9120 066) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PHI XXXXXXX 1 380 CIDIS 9101017 D 5 and PHI XXXXXXX 2 380 CIDIS 9101017 A 12. 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.
