14 vinyl pressings of Dave Brubeck's All-Time Greatest Hits are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1974 and 1976.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is CBS S68288.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S68288, CBS 68288, PG 32761, S2BP 220153) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P AL 32762-1A S 68288-A and S 68288-B. 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.
