Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Wave are there?
110 vinyl pressings of Wave are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1967 and 2024.
When was Wave first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is A&M Records SP-3002, released October 1967.
How do I tell if my copy of Wave is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP-3002, LP 2002, SP 3002, AML 2002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Wave 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.
