When was Touch first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1988, in Canada, Belgium. One of them is Nettwerk NTL 30024.
How do I tell if my copy of Touch is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NTL 30024, NET 007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NTL 30024 A1 and NTL 30024 B1.
