11 vinyl pressings of Live At Bubba's Jazz Restaurant are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1981 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in UK, US, France, Germany and more. One of them is Kingdom Jazz GATE 7003.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GATE 7003, WWLP 21019, 6313 211, INT 147.529) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
