13 vinyl pressings of Wagons West are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK, Canada. One of them is RCA Camden CAL 413.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAL 413, CAS 413(e), CDN-113) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, H3 PR7661-1S I F1 and H3 PR7662-1S I B4. 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.
