How do I tell if my copy of The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EUK 258, EUKS 7258, EKS-74021, CLVLXEK 273) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EUK 258 A1 and EUK 258 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter on vinyl worth?
