How do I tell if my copy of Zodiacs is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 10 937, OASIS 3, NB 908, NB 908 DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WEA-177033-A 10937 A PF and WEA-177033-B 10937 B PF.
