How do I tell if my copy of Welcome Back is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GOM 30009, PL 25331, VICTOR AVI-4835, WLP-1011) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 94 GOM 30009 - A and 94 GOM 30009 - B Sterling. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
