When was Golem first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Germany. One of them is Delta-Acustic 25-128-1.
How do I tell if my copy of Golem is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 25-128-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 25-128-1-A PF and 25-128-1-B " PF.
