by Elvis Presley · 1969
In The Ghetto / Any Day Now was first pressed on vinyl in 1969. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

69 vinyl pressings of In The Ghetto / Any Day Now are listed here, from 23 countries, released between 1969 and 2007.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Germany, France and more. One of them is RCA Victor 47-9741.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-9741, RCA 1831, 49.606, 31A-1521) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XPKM-1154-30S AE R and XPKM-1174-30S -B1- R. 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.
