How do I tell if my copy of Jeepster is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BUG 16, GRUB1A, GRUB 1, NIL 9052) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, (A-Side): GRUB 1A-1U and (B-Side): GRUB 1B-1U.
