by Barbra Streisand · 1972
Live Concert At The Forum was first pressed on vinyl in 1972. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

39 vinyl pressings of Live Concert At The Forum are listed here, from 18 countries, released between 1972 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia KC 31760.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KC 31760, PC 31760, S 65210, SBP-234246) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL-31760-1C JL SX C I and P BL 31760-1E. 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.
