27 vinyl pressings of In My Own Dream are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1968 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Elektra EKS-74025.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EKS-74025, EKL 4025, EKS 74025, 62001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EKS 74025A (AL) and EKS 74025B (AL). 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.
