How do I tell if my copy of Marriott is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP4572, SP-4572, AMLH 64572, 8312) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A&M SP4879-MI △20428 (1) and A&M SP4880-MI △20428-X(3).
