How do I tell if my copy of New Soil is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4013, 84013) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN-LP-4013-A RVG Plastylite “p” ear mark and BN-LP-4013-B RVG Plastylite “p” ear mark.
