Vinyl pressings
by Living Colour · 1990
Time's Up was first pressed on vinyl in 1990. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
10 pressings came out in 1990, the album's first year, in 10 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

18 vinyl pressings of Time's Up are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1990 and 2026.
The earliest pressings are from 1990, in Europe, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is Epic 466920 1.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 466920 1, E 46202, 188.107/1-466920, EPC 466920-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 01 466920 20 1A1 and 01-466920-20-3B 1. 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.
