How do I tell if my copy of Mighty Quinn is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BRO 51, 11 923 AT, K-7061, BRZ 018) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BRO 51 A-1 HTM and BRO 51 B-1.
