How do I tell if my copy of Somewhere My Love is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CL 2519, CS 9319, S 62740, BPG 62740) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XLP 113779-1A and XLP 113780-1B.
