11 vinyl pressings of Wild In The Streets are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1968 and 1969.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Canada, France and more. One of them is Tower SKAO 5099.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SKAO 5099, ST 5099, SKAO 6284, STTX 340.774) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SKAO-5099-A1 and SKAO-5099-B2. 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.
