13 vinyl pressings of Hugo In Wonder-Land are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1974 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Australia, India and more. One of them is RCA Victor APL1-0413.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use APL1-0413, APD1-0413, APL1 0413, APL1 -0413) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, APL1 0513A 3S RE 1 A 1 and APL1 0413B 3S RE 1 A1. 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.
