How do I tell if my copy of Sandy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 513, MALA 513, SS 484, OSS 198) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6482 MR LW △59243 and 6483 MR LW △59243-X. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
