Running All Over The World was first pressed on vinyl in 1988. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
12 pressings came out in 1988, the album's first year, in 4 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.

12 vinyl pressings of Running All Over The World are listed here, from 4 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, Europe, Germany, Netherlands. One of them is Phonogram QUAID 112, released August 8, 1988.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use QUAID 112, QUAID 1, 870 592-7, 870 592-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, QUAID 112 A-3U-1-1 and QUAID 112 B-6-1 B̶6̶ MT. 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.
