About this record
This 1974 German pressing of Elvis Forever carries dual catalogue numbers—PJL 2-8024 and 26 28103—stamped across four sides, each pressed by a different German plant (TELDEC, RCA Schallplatten GmbH, or Teldec-Press GmbH). The 32-track compilation drew from five Hollywood studios' film soundtracks, making the pressing-plant attribution critical: the runout matrix PJL 2-8024-A, -B, -C, and -D reveal which facility cut each side.
Demand is modest relative to supply—136 collectors want it against 5868 who own one—yet 133 copies remain listed for sale, suggesting the market has not consolidated around scarcity.
What drives its value
Price spreads sharply by condition on this German RCA International pressing. A Mint copy commands 44.31 USD, while NM drops to 39.64 USD, VG+ to 30.31 USD, and VG to 20.99 USD; the floor sits at 1.02 USD for Poor stock.
The 133 active listings signal steady availability rather than rarity-driven premium. Community ownership (5868 have) outpaces demand (136 want) by a wide margin, placing this compilation in the common-reissue category.
The French 1974 pressing on RCA Victor carries the same catalogue number PJL 2-8024, fragmenting collector focus. Condition grade determines nearly all resale value; a VG+ copy at 30.31 USD represents the practical sweet spot for buyers seeking playable stock without Mint-grade expense.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the dual catalogue numbers PJL 2-8024 and 26 28103 printed on labels, back cover, and spine. The back cover states 'Made by RCA Schallplatten GmbH, Hamburg, Germany' and 'Printed in Germany.' Check the runout matrix on each side—PJL 2-8024-A through -D—to identify the pressing plant: TELDEC »Telefunken-Decca« Schallplatten GmbH, RCA Schallplatten GmbH, or Teldec-Press GmbH.
The label perimeter should read 'Manufactured By TELDEC' or equivalent plant attribution. Early copies included a bilingual (German/English) booklet.
The copyright mark ℗ 1974 appears on labels. Avoid confusion with the successor version (catalogue 7743653) that denotes RCA Schallplatten GmbH at the label perimeter, or the variant without 'Manufactured in Germany' in runouts (catalogue 32028896).
Grade by surface cleanliness and groove wear; even light scratches drop value from 44.31 USD (Mint) to 39.64 USD (NM).
