How do I tell if my copy of Barbi Doll is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PB-404, NSPL 28209, PB-1001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PB 8404-A-2 TML-S TI and PB 8404-B-1 TML-M TI. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
