11 vinyl pressings of Wrong are listed here, from 2 countries, released between 1996 and 2004.
The earliest pressings are from 1996, in UK, US. One of them is Virgin VST 1589, released June 24, 1996.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VST 1589, VSLH 1589, 0-85505, VSTDJ1589) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VST 1589 A-01-01-1- TOWN HOUSE DMM D and VST 1589 B-01-01-1 TOWN HOUSE DMM D. 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.
