How do I tell if my copy of Winning is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 11-01050, CBS A1139, BA 222824, 43061) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T ZSS168136-1E T1111 and T ZSS168139-1F T1111.
