What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1983First released 1956; our table starts at 1983 (RCA, UK & Europe). A copy older than 1983 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants1984 US: Reissue, Remastered, Mono; 2000 Europe: Limited Edition, Reissue, Mono; 2013 Europe: Compilation, Limited Edition, Numbered. Short runs like these often bring more than a standard early copy.
JapanPressed to high standards and collected separately; a copy with the original obi strip is a different record to collectors than one without.
Reissues, 2008+3 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

Three checks, in the order worth doing them.

  1. 1

    Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.

  2. 2

    Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1983 UK & Europe pressing it reads “E-0106 A-2/83 S III II” on side one and “E-0106 B-2/83S III” on side two. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. The same pressing can be worth several times more in near mint than in VG. Grade the vinyl and the sleeve separately — our grading guide shows the standard scale.

A 1956 jacket with a later disc inside is a reissue in an original sleeve. Judge the pressing by the runout etching and the label, never by the cover.

Questions

Which pressing of Elvis Presley (self-titled) is worth the most?

Original 1956 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1983 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1984 “Reissue, Remastered, Mono” and the 2000 “Limited Edition, Reissue, Mono”) can beat an ordinary early copy. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.

How do I tell which pressing I have?

Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1983 UK & Europe pressing the runout reads “E-0106 A-2/83 S III II”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Elvis Presley (self-titled) worth today?

Market prices move, so a static number goes stale fast. Scan the record in the RecordScout app: it identifies your exact pressing from the label and shows a current value range for its condition.
