The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, Canada, Germany, Japan and more. One of them is CTI Records CTI 6025.
How do I tell if my copy of Carnegie Hall is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CTI 6025, CTI 6025 S1, SR 3345, CTA 1015) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RVG 87682 A and RVG 87682 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Carnegie Hall 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.
