13 vinyl pressings of A Time For Love are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1966 and 1967.
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK, New Zealand, South Africa. One of them is Liberty LP-9333.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP-9333, LP-12333, LP-9333 DJ, LBY 3086) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LP-9333-1 and LP-9333-2. 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.
