How do I tell if my copy of Fish Out Of Water is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use K50203, SD 18159, W50203, 50 203) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K·50203·B2 ARUN and K·50203·B2.
