How do I tell if my copy of Swingin' Dixie! is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AFLP 1877, AFSD 5877) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, b+c X11-414X-12113-A2 AFLP1877-A2 and 7-12-58 b+c X11-414Y-12078-B5 AFLP1877-B5.
