17 vinyl pressings of Live In Paris are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1971 and 1977.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in Germany, France, Italy, Japan and more. One of them is Liberty LBS 83468/69X.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LBS 83468/69X, LBS 83 468/9, LBS 83468/9, 2 UAS 29194/5) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LBS 83468 A M6 277602 YPARTX 67737 2I Made in Germany and LBS 83468 B M6 277603 YPARTX 67738 2I Made in Germany. 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.
