How do I tell if my copy of Lord Of Lords is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AS-9224, AS-9224 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AS 9224 A RE1 I - Λ2 T.S. and AS 9224 B RE1 I - T.S.
