16 vinyl pressings of Indian Reservation are listed here, from 12 countries, released between 1979 and 1981.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Germany, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Ariola 600 088.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 600 088, 100 788, SG 333, SG 333 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 600088 A-1/79S and 600088 B-1/79S. 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.
