When was Lazarus first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Guatemala, Japan. One of them is Capitol Records ST-782.
How do I tell if my copy of Lazarus is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-782, CP-80372) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-1-782-F2 and ST-2-782-F2.
