Vinyl pressings
by Linda Ronstadt · 1974
Heart Like A Wheel was first pressed on vinyl in 1974. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
18 pressings came out in 1974, the album's first year, in 9 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

75 vinyl pressings of Heart Like A Wheel are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1974 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, Argentina, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is Capitol Records ST-11358.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-11358, SW-11358, 6816, 038 EVC 81 823) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-1-11358 Z3 #3 and ST-2-11358 Z3 #3. 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.
