How do I tell if my copy of Leeway is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4034) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN 4034-A and BN 4034-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
