How do I tell if my copy of My Prayer is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CH 132, CH 132 - Y 25, CH 132B, P-CH 132) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XDR-47928-TI-IC and XDR-48151-TI-IC.
