How do I tell if my copy of Ozma is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BR16-1, TUPLP7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BR 16-1 A1 RE1 Melvin Pole Bath Tub L-33847 (A) and BR 16-1 B1 RE1 Millions of Dead Melvins L-33847X (A).
