Be careful when buying old vinyl records as sometimes records are reissued and not the original copy that has the real value. A perfect example is the white label promo copy of the 1957 RCA 45 of Elvis' Blue Christmas. There are white promo copies of the record that were reissued during the years after the 1957 original release. These records are far less valuable than the $3,000 once might pay for the premiere copy.
