31 vinyl pressings of In Concert - Carnegie Hall are listed here, from 15 countries, released between 1976 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is CTI Records CTI 6072 S1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CTI 6072 S1, CTI 6072, 6489 026, CTI-6072) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RVG 87732 A-5 CTH 1T DL and RVG 87732 B-2 #13 C DL 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.
