10 vinyl pressings of Pays Tribute To Elvis Presley are listed here, from 5 countries, released between 1972 and 1974.
The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK. One of them is Avenue AVE 093.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AVE 093) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AVE 093 A-1 ✳X and AVE 093 B-1 ✳X. 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.
