Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 60187, SLIN 3364, 96.0187-1, P-11327) 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 Wolf on vinyl worth?
