When was Orbital first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1993, in US, Europe. One of them is FFRR PRL P026-1.
How do I tell if my copy of Orbital is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PRL P026-1, TRULP2) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRLP-026-1A F/W RCE HUBTV and PRLP-026-1B HUBTV F/W RCE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
