Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Live are there?

13 vinyl pressings of Live are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1976 and 1979.

When was Live first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1976, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Epic PE 33336.

How do I tell if my copy of Live is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PE 33336, EPC 80705, ELPS 3762, KE 33336) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL-33336 1B WLY Ω (possibly a horseshoe) and PBL-33336 1A WLY ℧ (possibly a horseshoe). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Live on vinyl worth?

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.
