About this record
The RCA Records Pressing Plant in Washington stamped this 1974 UK Arcade compilation with four distinct matrix codes across its sides—ADE P12-A-1E A1Y KM through ADE P12-D-3E A1AN—each marking a different phase of the pressing run. The catalogue number appears in two forms: ADEP 12 on the spine and ADE P 12 on the labels themselves, a quirk of Arcade's labeling protocol.
With 164 copies currently for sale and a floor price of 1.55 USD, this 40-track gatefold sits in the deep-catalog tier where condition alone determines whether a buyer pays 14.76 for Mint or 0.78 for Poor.
What drives its value
This pressing commands a steep condition-based spread: Mint copies fetch 14.76 USD, while NM drops to 13.21 USD, VG+ settles at 10.10 USD, and VG copies trade at 6.99 USD—a reflection of how wear on a 1974 pressing directly erodes collector value. The 164 active listings signal a soft market; demand from 171 want-list entries against 6217 who already own a copy suggests this is a common compilation rather than a chase pressing.
The 1978 RCA reissue (PL 42691) likely cannibalizes demand for this original Arcade edition. Buyers prioritize the gatefold sleeve condition and label clarity over sonic qualities, since the 40-track format and Rock & Roll / Ballad mix are standard for Elvis compilations of the era.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number ADE P 12 printed on both labels and spine (ADEP 12 variant on spine only). The four matrix runouts—ADE P12-A-1E A1Y KM, ADE P12-B-1E A1G KM, ADE P12-C-1E A1Z, and ADE P12-D-3E A1AN—identify it as a product of the RCA Records Pressing Plant, Washington, UK, with Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. credited for the gatefold construction.
Grade the gatefold first: check for seam splits, foxing on the inner panels, and whether the spine text remains legible. On the vinyl itself, inspect the label printing for clarity of the RCA and Arcade logos and the matrix codes in the dead wax.
The absence of a barcode confirms the 1974 date; later Arcade reissues added UPC codes. Surface noise and groove wear are typical; prioritize label condition and gatefold integrity when assessing value.

How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 10.10 USD. This represents the midpoint between NM (13.21 USD) and VG (6.99 USD), where minor surface marks and light label wear begin to show.
What pressing plant made this record?
The RCA Records Pressing Plant in Washington, UK manufactured the vinyl. Shorewood Packaging Co. Ltd. in England produced the gatefold sleeve, as credited on the rear cover.
How does this compare to the 1978 RCA reissue?
The 1978 RCA reissue carries catalogue number PL 42691 (2) and was pressed separately. This 1974 Arcade original is the first edition; the later RCA pressing is a reissue and typically commands lower prices due to wider availability.
