How do I tell if my copy of Bingo is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6413 501, 6423 074, 6423 074 A, PH 6858 060) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AA 6413 501 1Y1 Ⓟ 1974 670 I r 90 and AA 6413 501 2Y1 Ⓟ 1974 670 I I I 90.

How much is Bingo on vinyl worth?
