47 vinyl pressings of Live At Winterland are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1978 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1989, in UK. One of them is Link Records LINK LP 063.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LINK LP 063) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LINK LP 063 - A1 MT A PORKY PRIME CUT Adrenalin FOLLOW THAT! and LINK LP 063 - B1 MT Porky Adrenalin. 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.
