19 vinyl pressings of The Weavers At Carnegie Hall are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1957 and 2021.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, UK, Australia, Austria and more. One of them is Vanguard VRS-9010.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VRS-9010, PPL 11006, AVRS 30-9007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, H8 OP4413 1C A1 R and H8 OP4414 1B B1 R. 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.
