How do I tell if my copy of Time Step is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FV 41411, CHR 1411, L 38024, 205 464) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FV-41411-AS-1 TML-X P and FV-41411-BS-1 TML-M P. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
