How do I tell if my copy of Tonight is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PRL-12179, PRL 12179, ARL 5060, PRLP-12570) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRL-12179-AS F/W Ѽ and PRL-12179-BS- F/W Ѽ.
