30 vinyl pressings of Five O'Clock World are listed here, from 14 countries, released between 1965 and 1990.
The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, UK, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is Co & Ce Records C-232.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use C-232, B-232, HL 10014, HLU 10014) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MW 606 MR △59453 and MW 607 MR △59354-X. 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.
