33 vinyl pressings of In Concert are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1974 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in US, UK, Italy, Argentina and more. One of them is CTI Records CTI 6041.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CTI 6041, CTIQ 6041. CTRQ 6041, CTSQ 6041, CTL 21) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, p RVG SQ 87699 A-2 VAN GELDER and p RVG SQ 87699 B-4 VAN GELDER. 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.
