24 vinyl pressings of Live Concert - Music Made Famous By Glenn Miller are listed here, from 10 countries, released between 1961 and 1967.
The earliest pressings are from 1961, in US, UK, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Warner Bros. Records WS 1428.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WS 1428, W 1428, USA WS.1428, WM.4059) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WS 1428-A 38621-1A and 38622-1A WS 1428-B. 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.
