About this record
The French RCA pressing of Elvis Presley's Follow That Dream EP carries catalogue number 86.306 M. and bears the AREA (2) plant stamp in its dead wax, distinguishing it from the concurrent US RCA Victor release EPA-4368. Stamped with matrix runouts N 2PH 1603 D2 and N2PH 1604 D1, this 7-inch 45 RPM four-track EP was pressed in 1962 for the European market and remains scarcer than its American counterpart in the secondary market.
What drives its value
This French pressing trades on condition separation and scarcity relative to US stock. The price guide spans from 1.52 USD for Poor copies up to 28.88 USD for Mint examples, with a VG+ copy valued at 19.76 USD and VG at 13.68 USD.
Currently 15 copies are listed for sale across platforms, while 103 collectors own one against 21 who actively want it—a ratio suggesting moderate but not urgent demand. The 1962 French RCA pressing commands a premium over worn copies because the AREA (2) plant pressing is less common in collections than the US EPA-4368 variant, making condition-graded examples the primary driver of value differentiation.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number 86.306 M. printed on the label and the RCA France imprint. The dead-wax matrix runouts N 2PH 1603 D2 (side A) and N2PH 1604 D1 (side B) are the definitive identifier; cross-reference these against the pressing plant mark AREA (2) stamped in the runout.
The EP contains 4 tracks spanning rock, stage and screen, pop rock, and ballad styles. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline marks and the label for foxing or water damage; the absence of a barcode on this 1962 pressing is normal.
A Mint copy shows no signs of play; NM allows only the slightest evidence of handling. VG+ copies show light surface marks but play cleanly; VG copies display visible wear yet remain fully playable.

Frequently asked
How do I tell this French pressing apart from the US EPA-4368 release?
Check the label imprint for RCA France and the catalogue number 86.306 M. rather than EPA-4368. The dead-wax matrix runouts N 2PH 1603 D2 and N2PH 1604 D1 with the AREA (2) plant mark confirm the French pressing; US copies carry different matrix codes and pressing plant identifiers.
What is a VG+ copy worth on the current market?
The price guide values a VG+ copy at 19.76 USD. This estimate reflects the guide's snapshot; actual sales may vary, but this figure represents the mid-range expectation for a copy showing light play wear yet retaining strong sound quality.
Why is the price spread so wide between Mint and Poor?
Mint copies at 28.88 USD command a premium because this 1962 French pressing is less frequently encountered in unplayed condition than worn examples. Poor copies at 1.52 USD reflect minimal collector interest in heavily damaged stock; the jump to VG at 13.68 USD shows that even lightly played copies retain substantial value.
Is this EP still in demand among collectors?
Community data shows 103 collectors own this pressing against 21 who want it, indicating steady but not urgent demand. The ratio suggests it is a known title but not a chase piece; availability of 15 copies for sale keeps the market liquid without scarcity-driven price spikes.
What does the AREA (2) plant mark tell me?
AREA (2) identifies the French pressing plant that manufactured this EP in 1962. The plant mark appears in the dead wax alongside the matrix runouts and confirms the French origin; it is a key verification detail when comparing this release to other territorial pressings of the same title.
