How do I tell if my copy of Hymns By Johnny Cash is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 8125, CL 1284, BBL.7373, KLP 786) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XSM45463-1A - 1 and XSM45464-1D -.
