About this record
The French RCA Victor pressing of this 1972 Elvis single carries a notably steep price gradient: Mint copies command 30.69 USD while Poor graded stock sits at 1.62 USD—a spread that reflects how sensitive collectors are to surface condition on this particular 45. Twenty copies are currently listed for sale, yet demand remains modest at 29 want-list entries against 252 in collections.
What drives its value
This French 45 trades on condition more than rarity. The price_guide spreads from 30.69 USD (Mint) down through 27.46 USD (NM) and 21.00 USD (VG+) to 14.54 USD (VG)—each grade shift marking a meaningful loss in market value.
The lowest asking price in the current market is 3.50 USD, suggesting distressed or heavily played stock. With 20 copies for sale and a want-to-have ratio of 29 to 252, this is a stable catalogue item rather than a hunt.
The French pressing (catalogue 41 033) is less sought than the concurrent US release (74-0769), which explains why even Mint grades stay under 31 USD. Collectors prioritize original condition here because the record offers no scarcity premium.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this as a French pressing by the RCA Victor label imprint and catalogue number 41 033 (also written 41.033). The dead-wax runout will read one of four matrix strings: BPKS 1.257, BPKS 1.260, BPKS 1257 A, or BPKS 1260 B—these variants do not indicate different pressings but rather stamper wear across the production run.
No barcode appears on this release. Grade by examining both sides for groove wear and surface noise: Mint copies show no signs of play, NM examples display only light handling marks invisible at normal listening distance, VG+ records have light surface noise audible only on quiet passages, and VG copies exhibit moderate noise and light scratches.
The 7-inch 45 RPM format means even minor scuffing becomes audible; play-grading is essential.

Frequently asked
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
The price_guide lists VG+ at 21.00 USD. This is an estimate as of the guide's last update; actual market sales may vary. The current lowest asking price across all grades is 3.50 USD, indicating that heavily played or damaged copies trade well below guide.
Why is the French pressing cheaper than the US version?
The US pressing (RCA Victor 74-0769, also 1972) was the primary release market and carries stronger collector demand. French pressings were regional stock and remain less pursued. Both were pressed simultaneously, but US copies retain higher value because they represent the original commercial release.
What do the matrix codes BPKS 1.257 and BPKS 1.260 tell me?
These runout strings identify the stampers used during the pressing session. The presence of four variants (BPKS 1.257, BPKS 1.260, BPKS 1257 A, BPKS 1260 B) indicates this single was pressed across multiple stamper sets to meet demand, but all four are from the same 1972 French production run. No single variant is rarer than another.
What is a Mint copy worth versus a VG copy?
Mint is priced at 30.69 USD and VG at 14.54 USD according to the price_guide. The gap between these grades reflects how much collectors will pay to avoid surface noise and light scratches—condition is the primary value driver on this title.
Is this record still actively collected?
Moderately. The community shows 252 have-list entries and 29 want entries, indicating a stable but not hot market. With 20 copies currently for sale, supply is adequate. The average rating of 3.54 from 13 votes suggests it is valued as a standard catalogue item rather than a collector's prize.
