How do I tell if my copy of East Coasting is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BCP 6019) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6019-A and 6019-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
