The earliest pressings are from 1977, in US, UK, Japan, New Zealand and more. One of them is ABC Records AB-989.
How do I tell if my copy of Indian Summer is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AB-989, ABCL 5220, YX-8095-AB, AB 989) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AB-989-A 2 Wly E SXT 1S and AB-989-B 2 Wly B SXT 2S. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Indian Summer on vinyl worth?
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.
