How do I tell if my copy of Acting Up is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 35073, CBS 82647, SBP 237143, PC 35073) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL-35073 -1A RFJ and BL-35073-1D P.
