35 vinyl pressings of "Live" At The Star-Club, Hamburg are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1964 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in Germany, UK, France, Japan. One of them is Philips P 14 546 L, released August 1964.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use P 14 546 L, 842 945 PY, BL 7646, B 14.546 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ✳ AA14546 1L Made in Germany C and ✳ AA14546 2L Made in Germany C. 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.
