The MusicStack website tried to put together a list of the ten most valuable vinyl records. They used different sources to come up with the list (Ebay, RecordCollector and others). Elvis is mentioned 1 time on the 8th place with Stay Away, Joe (US, RCA Victor UNRM-9408, 1967), a one sided promo release, sold for $25,000.
