Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Wanted are there?

When was Wanted first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, US, Portugal, Germany and more. One of them is Big Life YAZZ LP 1, released November 14, 1988.
How do I tell if my copy of Wanted is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use YAZZ LP 1, YAZZ LP 1P, 9 60842-1, 607520) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAZZ-LP-1-A-6 SW and YAZZ-LP-1-B-2 SW. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Wanted 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.
