Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Elvis' Golden Records, Vol. 3 are there?

182 vinyl pressings of Elvis' Golden Records, Vol. 3 are listed here, from 29 countries, released between 1963 and 2013.

When was Elvis' Golden Records, Vol. 3 first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, France, Argentina, Australia and more. One of them is RCA Victor LPM-2765, released August 11, 1963.

How do I tell if my copy of Elvis' Golden Records, Vol. 3 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM-2765, LSP 2765, LSP-2765, 430.619) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PPRM-4168-1S I and PPRM-4169-10S A2 I. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Elvis' Golden Records, Vol. 3 on vinyl worth?

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.
