How do I tell if my copy of The Soul Album is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VOLT 413, VOLT S-413, V-413, 413) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VLT-12349-A AT W and VLT-12350-A AT W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
