31 vinyl pressings of Elvis Love Songs (20 Original Songs) are listed here, from 20 countries, released between 1979 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in UK & Ireland, UK, Australasia, Australia and more. One of them is K-Tel NE 1062.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NE 1062, NA 531, NA-531, TB 324) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NE1062-A-1 (RCA) A5AAX Bilbo and NE1062-B-1 (RCA) .W. A7AR Bilbo TA1PE. 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.
