How do I tell if my copy of Maverick is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EJ 2402821, ST-17145, EYS-81707, ST.240282) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EJ 2402821 A-1-1-1- D and EJ 2402821 B-1-1-1- D. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
