11 vinyl pressings of All The Time In The World are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1978 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1978, in US, Barbados, Canada, Guatemala and more. One of them is Capitol Records 4677.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4677, P-4677, F 4677, Promo 4677/Pro-9020) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S45-95456-A F-1 #3 4677 Wally MASTERED BY CAPITOL 0 and S45-95397-A F-1 #1 4677 Wally MASTERED BY CAPITOL 0. 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.
