How do I tell if my copy of Van Go is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA-5759, MCF 3326, R28X-2003, VPL1 6730) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA 5500 FDS-2 FUTURE DISC ⧈-G-⧈ and MCA 5501 FDS-1 ⧈-G-⧈. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Van Go on vinyl worth?
