When was Perception first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US. One of them is Argo 738.
How do I tell if my copy of Perception is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 738, LPS-738, DJLP-738) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
