27 vinyl pressings of A Black And White Night Live are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1989 and 2019.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in US, Argentina, Australasia, Brazil and more. One of them is Virgin 91295-1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 91295-1, 50.017, V2601, 066 427094 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-VR-897551-A 1-1 [SRC logo] and ST-VR-897552-A 1-1 [SRC logo]. 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.
