    Of which album(s)? There’s a lot of variables so it can be a deep rabbit hole. If you list the album I *might* be able to point you in the right direction. 
    96 Hartford | 98 MSG 1 & 2 | 00 Jones Beach | 03 MSG 1 & 2 | 06 Irving Plaza | 06 Camden | 06 E. Rutherford | 08 MSG 1 & 2 | 10 MSG 1 & 2 | 11 EV/Portland | 13 Wrigley | 13 Brooklyn 1 & 2 | 13 Hartford | 13 Portland | 13 Seattle | 14 Stockholm | 17 EV/Tennessee | 18 Missoula

    No one album in particular. Just wondering for future reference when buying vinyl. 

    Thanks to all who replied.

    Discogs has details for each and everyone of the pressings. That should be all you need. Good luck.
