11 vinyl pressings of At Last are listed here, from 8 countries, released between 1972 and 1991.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, Denmark, France, Germany and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHR 1005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR 1005, 6307 505, CHR1005, 63 07 505) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHR 1005 A -1U 0 1 and CHR 1005 B -1U R 1. 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.
