How do I tell if my copy of Yo Frankie is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 209 766, AL-8549, VPL1 7647, 8549) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM209766 A-1/4-89 C and DM209766 B-1/4-89 C.
