How do I tell if my copy of Swing is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SUPET 175, SUPETX 175, PAULX 94, PAULX 96) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SUPET 175 A1 DAMONT and SUPET 175 AA1 DAMONT.
