When was Time first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is EMI 58017.

How do I tell if my copy of Time is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 58017, EMC 790805, C1-90805, 064-790805 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Time on vinyl worth?

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.
