How do I tell if my copy of T-Bird Rhythm is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR 1395, 205 079, PV-41395-AS-GIA G1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 CHR-1395-AS-RE1-CT2 A2 and T1 CHR-1395-BS-RE1-CT1 3 A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
