36 vinyl pressings of Live... In The Raw are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1987 and 2017.
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in Canada, UK, US, Argentina and more. One of them is Capitol Records CLT-48053.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CLT-48053, EST 2040, 81 7480531, ST 748053) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CLT-48053-1 1A 2HDZL DM 3 and CLT-48053-2 1A 2DZL DM 1. 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.
