41 vinyl pressings of Viva Las Vegas are listed here, from 19 countries, released between 1964 and 1982.
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US, UK, Greece, Japan and more. One of them is RCA Victor EPA-4382.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPA-4382, RCX-7141, EPAg 6014, CP-1131) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RPKB-0390 and RPKB-0391. 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.
