How do I tell if my copy of Solid Bond is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WS3001, WS.3001, 2555, 2LS 2555) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WS 3001A - 2 ✳ T STEREO and WS 3001B - 2 ✳ T STEREO. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
