How do I tell if my copy of Donna / La Bamba is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 4110, 45-HL 8803) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DF 1058-119-R3 - H and DF 1058-118-R3 -. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
