If you can order directly from Walmart, it's less than $20, excluding shipping.

It goes well with the recent vinyl reissue of "50,000,000 Million Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong - Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 2." I believe it came out back in January. I wouldn't mind seeing reissues of volumes 3, 4 and 5. Maybe even a reissue of "Elvis 50 Worldwide Gold Award Hits Vol. 1" and "Elvis, The Other Sides, Worldwide Gold Award Hits Vol. 2."
To me, I would say that "Elvis' Golden Records" is the album that has probably made more people fans of Elvis' music than any other. It doesn't even have to be under the title "Elvis' Golden Records." When I was in school, I bought a cassette version of essentially the same album, albeit, it was condensed and it removed some songs and it was titled something like "Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog And Other Top Ten Hits." However, my cassette version wasn't like the album cover I've seen online with the "Stay Away, Joe" photo. My cassette version was purple, black and yellow and didn't feature any images of Elvis on the cover.
The one thing I did want to mention is recently a co-worker gave me an original pressing of the reissue of the first "Elvis' Golden Records" set with the "RE" and the alteration to the liner notes. So it's kinda cool to see the changes that were made at the time. I imagine it's the use of the word "grueling" that was the reason for the change of the liner notes on the original album.

Yes it is. Has the RCA and Legacy logos in the bottom left corner along with barcode on the back cover. It has the same photo that was used for the back cover on the original as well. Barcode is number 19439-70956-1. I believe I ordered it from Shop Graceland here in the U.S. I think it came out around the end of January of this year. It's only a regular black vinyl rather than the marbled gold of the Walmart version of Volume 1. Has the "Magic Millions" above the "RCA Victor" in the top right corner. Also has a "We Are Vinyl" sticker on the shrinkwrap. Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 come with a download code. In fact here's a link to purchase from Shop Graceland.
