11 vinyl pressings of Starbright / All Is Well are listed here, from 6 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Canada, Australia and more. One of them is Columbia 4-41583.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4-41583, H.254, KS-378, 263 096 TF) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZSP49483-1C . and ZSP49484-1A ... 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.
