29 vinyl pressings of We Have All The Time In The World are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1969 and 1972.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in France, UK, US, Canada and more. One of them is United Artists Records 2 C 006-90898 M.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2 C 006-90898 M, 50617, UP35059, UP 35059) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 90898 MA 21 M3 269870 and 90898 MB 21 M3 269871. 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.
