How do I tell if my copy of Soledad is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 35 287, K14296, K-14296, LR-2961) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C 35 287 A-1 Made in Germany and C 35 287 B-1 Made in Germany.
