10 vinyl pressings of Always And Forever are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 2005 and 2006.
The earliest pressings are from 2005, in Europe. One of them is Pssst Music pssst 0569, released November 2005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use pssst 0569) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 60130 1A PSSST 0569 and 60130 1B PSSST 0569. 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.
