How do I tell if my copy of Reflector is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AMLK 63726, SP 3726, 20.243, L 37430) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AMLK 63726 A1 [Trumpet symbol] A&M SP03726A-G2 IWT and AMLK 63726 B1 [Trumpet symbol] A&M SP03726B-G1 IWT.
