Questions
How many vinyl pressings of Concert are there?

When was Concert first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, Argentina, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Capitol Records STAO-2198.
How do I tell if my copy of Concert is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STAO-2198, TAO 2198, STAO 2198, T-2198) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STAO-1-2198-A-5. 1 ✲ and STAO-2-2198-A-5. 2 ✲. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Concert on vinyl worth?
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.
