Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Live! are there?

168 vinyl pressings of Live! are listed here, from 28 countries, released between 1975 and 2025.

When was Live! first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Jamaica, UK, US, France and more. One of them is Tuff Gong ILPS 9376.

How do I tell if my copy of Live! is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9376, 9123 003, L 35783, 89 729 XOT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ILPS 9376 A2 and ILPS 9376 B2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Live! 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.
