How do I tell if my copy of Popcorn is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8734, V-8734, SVLP 9225, VLP 9225) 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 Popcorn on vinyl worth?
