12 vinyl pressings of Digital At Montreux are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1980 and 1987.
The earliest pressings are from 1980, in US, Canada, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Pablo Live D2308224.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use D2308224, 2308224, PBL 215, 28MJ 3013) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PP-2365 ② and PP-2366 ②. 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.
