How do I tell if my copy of My Guy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M-1056, MOTOWN 1056, 1056, SS 288) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM W-076219 10 and DMB-069110 Nashville Matrix 10.
