85 vinyl pressings of Live Peace In Toronto 1969 are listed here, from 24 countries, released between 1969 and 2009.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in UK, US, New Zealand, Canada and more. One of them is Apple Records CORE 2001, released December 12, 1969.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CORE 2001, SW 3362, SW-3362, CORE-2001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CORE 2001 A-1U RP 2 and CORE 2001 B-1U RL 3. 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.
