How do I tell if my copy of Spartacus is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MILK LP1, INT 145.160, SNIR 25141, ZL 74943) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFI 91 1 MILK LP -1- A 2 and DFI 91 1 MILK LP -1- B 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
