Really easy to check if you have a first issue of The Wall (for both US and UK issues): is the band credited in full on the inside cover or not? Thats really all you need to check, and as you mentioned, you dont see the other members' names so sounds good then. But lets make sure just in case: this is what a 2nd and later issue looks like: two bricks below where it says "Written by Roger Waters" youll see the list of Pink Floyd members. Here on the other hand is what the first issue looks like, with just "Words and Music Roger Waters". (Credit: Reddit member GroovingPict.)
