Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Wipe Out are there?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 3535, released August 1963.
How do I tell if my copy of Wipe Out is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 3535, DLP 25535, HA-D 8110, 12.630) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LPM-55965 Sm ∆ 5675 and LPM-56696 Sm ∆5675-X. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Wipe Out on vinyl worth?
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.
