14 vinyl pressings of Into The Night are listed here, from 10 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is MCA Records MCA- 5561.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA- 5561, MCA-5561, MCF 3269, 83898) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA 4326-PL3 Precision ◈-P-◈ and MCA 4327-PL3 Precision ◈-P-◈ II. 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.
