When was Go... first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, Japan. One of them is Vee Jay Records VJLP 1014.
How do I tell if my copy of Go... is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VJLP 1014, SR 1014, RANK-5021) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K8OP-9858 and K8OP-9859.
