12 vinyl pressings of Live At Donington (August 22nd 1992) are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1993 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in UK, Spain, Brazil, Italy and more. One of them is EMI United Kingdom DON 1, released November 8, 1993.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DON 1, 142 8275111, 168 827511 1, 8 27511 1 3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DON 11 A-1-1-1 D and DON 11 B-1-1-1 D. 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.
