How do I tell if my copy of The Real McCoy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BST 84264, BLP 4264) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BNST · 84264 · A · VAN GELDER and BNST · 84264 · B · VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
