12 vinyl pressings of Live Sentence are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1984 and 2013.
The earliest pressings are from 1984, in US, Japan, Canada. One of them is Rocshire Records XR22020.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use XR22020, 28MM 0351) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XR 22020 · A TML-S SLM Δ 6669 1-1 S-11810 and XR 22020 · B TML-S SLM Δ 6669-X 1-1 S-11811. 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.
