How do I tell if my copy of Cole Porter's Can-Can is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use W-1301, SW 1301, W 1301, T 746) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, W1-1301-D10 and W2-1301-D3.
