When was Sarge first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1977, in UK, Canada. One of them is Charmers Records 001.
How do I tell if my copy of Sarge is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 001, SRL 001, MIC-CAN 0012) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, I-1 LP-1-A-1 F1 and 1 Summit Heights I-1 LP-1-B-1 LOYD CHARMERS. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
