How do I tell if my copy of Judgment! is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4159, BST 84159) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BNLP-4159路A 路 VAN GELDER 饾搮 and BNLP-4159路B路 VAN GELDER 饾搮.
