by Ten Years After · 1971
A Space In Time was first pressed on vinyl in 1971. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

85 vinyl pressings of A Space In Time are listed here, from 27 countries, released between 1971 and 2023.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Italy, Austria and more. One of them is Chrysalis CHR1001.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR1001, CHR 1001, KC 30801, 6307 500 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHR 1001A-1U RO 2 Porky and CHR 1001B-1U GL 1 Pecko. 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.
