The earliest pressings are from 1980, in France, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is A&M Records AMS 9015.
How do I tell if my copy of Dreamer is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AMS 9015, AMS 7576, 2269-S, AM-8650) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AMS 9015 A [AGI logo] 8010 and [AGI logo] 8010 AMS 9015 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Dreamer 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.
