18 vinyl pressings of Rockin' Every Night - Live In Japan are listed here, from 13 countries, released between 1983 and 1986.
The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Japan, Philippines. One of them is Virgin VIL-6039.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VIL-6039, VIL-4622) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VIRG - 6039A 112 and VIRG - 6039B 112. 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.
