How do I tell if my copy of Dream Come True is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HIP 32, JL8-8411, 1009-1-J, 6.26266) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HIP-32-A1 MT.1 DAMONT F ARUN and HIP-32-B1 MT.1 DAMONT E. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
