Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Ice Cream are there?

When was Ice Cream first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1955, in Denmark. One of them is Storyville A45000.

How do I tell if my copy of Ice Cream is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use A45000, A 45000) 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.
