The earliest pressings are from 1975, in Netherlands, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Vertigo 6370 408 A.
How do I tell if my copy of Live is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6370 408 A, 6360 122, SD 18148, 6370 408) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6370408 A 1 520 1511 75 and 6370408 B 1 520 1511 75. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Live 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.
