What separates the pressings
How to identify your copy
Three checks, in the order worth doing them.
- 1
Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.
- 2
Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1983 US pressing it reads “ST - IL - 825075 - A 1-1 SP” on side one and “ST - IL - 825076 - A 1-1 SP” on side two. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.
- 3
Grade the condition. The same pressing can be worth several times more in near mint than in VG. Grade the vinyl and the sleeve separately — our grading guide shows the standard scale.
A 1975 jacket with a later disc inside is a reissue in an original sleeve. Judge the pressing by the runout etching and the label, never by the cover.
Questions
Which pressing of Live! is worth the most?
Original 1975 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1983 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 2007 “Limited Edition, Reissue, 200g” and the 2020 “Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition”) can beat an ordinary early copy. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.
How do I tell which pressing I have?
Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1983 US pressing the runout reads “ST - IL - 825075 - A 1-1 SP”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
How much is Live! worth today?
Sellers ask from $33 for the later pressings we have quotes on (eBay, Sep 22, 2026). The 1983 pressings have no quoted range right now. Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
