How do I tell if my copy of Total Devo is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ENVLP 503, D1-73303, LIB 5148, 209315) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ENVLP 503 A-1U-1- TOWNHOUSE DMM and ENVLP 503 B-1U-1- TOWNHOUSE D.
