14 vinyl pressings of Live At Talk Of The Town are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1970 and 1975.
The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, Australia, Italy, New Zealand and more. One of them is United Artists Records UAS 29095.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS 29095, SUAL 933842, SUAL-933842, UAS 7035) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UAS 29095 A-1 and UAS 29095 B-1. 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.
