How do I tell if my copy of Funkytown is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6198 342, 6175 034, CAN 194, NB 2233) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6198-342 A and 6198-342 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
