About this record
The UK pressing of Welcome To My World carries catalogue number PL 12274, and the dead-wax matrix strings reveal multiple pressing plants: Garrodprint Ltd., RCA Ltd., and RCA Records Pressing Plant in Washington, UK all contributed copies. The release_notes flag a hybrid stereo/mono mix—all 10 tracks play in stereo except B4, which is mono only, and B5 captures Elvis live from Madison Square Garden on June 10, 1972.
With 81 copies currently for sale and a lowest asking price of 0.99 USD, supply far outpaces the 44 collectors actively seeking one.
What drives its value
This 1977 UK RCA Victor pressing trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 16.80 USD, while NM sits at 15.03 USD—a narrow margin that reflects the record's modest collector demand (44 want against 906 who own it).
The VG+ grade, at 11.49 USD, marks the practical floor for serious listening copies; VG drops to 7.96 USD. The steep slide from VG+ to G+ (4.42 USD) and below signals that wear and surface noise heavily penalize value on this title.
The 81 active listings at 0.99 USD lowest price confirm that bulk stock exists; the original UK pressing holds no scarcity premium over reissues. Condition grade, not pressing plant or catalogue variant, drives the entire price ladder.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number PL 12274 (or APL1 2274 variant) on the front cover and label. The dead-wax matrix strings—PL-12274-A-4E A1AM 'W', PL-12274 B-3E 'W' A2F, PL-12274-A-4E A1AL 'W', or PL-12274 B-3E A1AE 'W'—identify the specific stamper and pressing plant (Garrodprint Ltd., RCA Ltd., or RCA Records Pressing Plant, Washington, UK).
The record has no barcode. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under bright light for hairline scratches and dust; play-test both sides to confirm the stereo/mono split (B4 mono, all others stereo) and listen for surface noise or pitch drift.
The 1972 Madison Square Garden recording on B5 should sound distant but clear. A Mint copy shows no visible wear; NM permits only light handling marks; VG+ tolerates light surface noise during quiet passages.

Frequently asked
What is the catalogue number for the UK 1977 pressing?
RCA Victor issued it as PL 12274 (or APL1 2274). Both numbers appear on UK copies from this year and pressing plant combination.
Why does the release include both stereo and mono tracks?
The release_notes confirm all 10 tracks are stereo except B4, which is mono only. B5 is the June 10, 1972 Madison Square Garden Saturday afternoon performance, also in stereo.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 11.49 USD. This represents the threshold where light surface noise becomes audible but does not dominate playback.
How many copies are on the market right now?
81 copies are currently listed for sale, with the lowest asking price at 0.99 USD. This high supply relative to the 44 collectors actively seeking one indicates weak demand.
Which pressing plants manufactured this record?
Three plants appear in the matrix runout strings: Garrodprint Ltd., RCA Ltd., and RCA Records Pressing Plant in Washington, UK. The specific plant can be identified by reading the dead-wax matrix code on the vinyl itself.
