16 vinyl pressings of Plays The Beatles 20th Anniversary Concert are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1982 and 1984.
The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and more. One of them is Attic LAT 1168.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LAT 1168, Int 160.189, DEL 7017, 690.001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
