The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, France, Germany, Japan and more. One of them is Polydor PD 6048.
How do I tell if my copy of Live Stock is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PD 6048, 2391 192, MP 2505, 2391 192 A) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PD 6048-A- PRC-2-I-1 M.C.RM.

How much is Live Stock 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.
