How do I tell if my copy of Kill City is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4001, 9356-1018) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K-9347 IMP 1018-1A KENDUN-C and K-9348 IMP 1018-2B KENDUN-C.
