How do I tell if my copy of Pelé is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 18231, K 50410, WEA-10625, 50410) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Pele-A ST-PR- 280 A- ST-A 773935-A and Pele-B ST-PR- 280 B-A ST-A 773936-A.
