When was Criminal Minded first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1987, in US. One of them is B-Boy Records BB 4787-1.
How do I tell if my copy of Criminal Minded is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BB 4787-1, BB4787-1, BB4787, BB 5787-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BB 4787-1A and BB 4787-1B.
