How do I tell if my copy of Strip is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use A3589, TA 3589, WA 3589, A 3589) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A 3589 A2 ADAM ANT AII and A 3589 B2 ADAM ANT BII.
