How do I tell if my copy of Nightingale is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ODE 66106, ODE-66106, K-5792, OD 66106) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ODE 66118S-T3 TII and ODE 66113S-T3 TI.
