'Live' At London's Talk Of The Town was first pressed on vinyl in 1968. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

34 vinyl pressings of 'Live' At London's Talk Of The Town are listed here, from 17 countries, released between 1968 and 1978.
The earliest pressings are from 1968, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Motown MS 676.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 676, S-676, MT 676DJ, TML 11070) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
