77 vinyl pressings of Peace In The Valley are listed here, from 11 countries, released between 1957 and 2024.
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, UK, New Zealand, Canada and more. One of them is RCA Victor EPA-4054, released April 1957.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPA-4054, RCX-101, RPX 1001, EPA 4054) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, H2 WH-1334-1S I C2 and H2 WH-1335-1S I A6. 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.
