How do I tell if my copy of Breakout is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA-5753, MCF 3334, MCA 5753-1, 604.7238) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
