About this record
K-Tel's 1976 French compilation stamped EP 001 pairs 40 tracks across a gatefold sleeve with a peculiar hybrid pressing: 11 of those cuts exist in mono (A2, A3, A6, A8, B10, C3, C5, C6, D6, D9, D10) while the rest run stereo, a technical oddity that rarely appears on the label's other reissues. The market reflects this scarcity—78 copies are listed for sale, yet 2365 collectors own one against only 45 who actively want it, signaling a glut of supply relative to demand.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire spread on this K-Tel France pressing. A Mint copy commands 20.56 USD, while a VG+ example drops to 14.07 USD and a VG copy falls to 9.74 USD—each grade tier marking a distinct market segment.
The floor sits at 2.26 USD for the cheapest active listing among 78 copies on the market. The 1976 compilation format and the mono/stereo split across sides mean this pressing holds less collector cachet than original Elvis studio LPs; the have-to-want ratio of 2365 to 45 confirms it is readily available.
French K-Tel pressings from this era rarely command premium prices, and the gatefold sleeve alone does not offset the commodity status of a 40-track hits collection.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number EP 001 on the spine and label, paired with the K-Tel France imprint and 1976 copyright date. The release notes state it was printed and made in Great Britain (marked G.L. in the dead wax) but distributed by K-Tel France.
The gatefold sleeve is standard for this edition. To verify the mono/stereo split, check the runout area or inner label: tracks A2, A3, A6, A8, B10, C3, C5, C6, D6, D9, and D10 are mono, a detail absent from most reissues.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches and the sleeve for edge wear and foxing; the lack of a barcode on this pressing is normal for 1976 K-Tel France stock. Play-test the mono cuts to confirm they lack stereo separation.

Frequently asked
What is this pressing worth in VG+ condition?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 14.07 USD. This estimate reflects the typical market price as of the guide's last update and assumes the mono/stereo split is intact and the gatefold sleeve is present but shows minor wear.
Why are there so many copies for sale?
K-Tel's 1976 French pressing was a mass-market compilation aimed at budget-conscious buyers. The 78 active listings reflect the high original print run and the fact that 2365 collectors already own one. Demand is weak—only 45 want it—so supply far outpaces collector interest.
What does the mono/stereo split mean for value?
Eleven of the 40 tracks are pressed in mono (A2, A3, A6, A8, B10, C3, C5, C6, D6, D9, D10) while the rest are stereo. This hybrid approach was cost-saving on K-Tel's part and is unusual enough to verify authenticity, but it does not increase value—it is simply a pressing quirk specific to this 1976 French edition.
How much cheaper is a VG copy than a Mint one?
A Mint copy is priced at 20.56 USD and a VG copy at 9.74 USD. The difference reflects visible wear on the vinyl surface, sleeve creasing, and potential surface noise, all of which reduce playback quality and collector appeal.
Is the gatefold sleeve original to this pressing?
Yes. The release notes confirm a gatefold sleeve as part of the 1976 K-Tel France Limited Collectors Edition. The sleeve is marked as printed and made in Great Britain (G.L. in the dead wax) and distributed by K-Tel France, so an original gatefold is expected on all copies of this pressing.
