How do I tell if my copy of 100% Cotton is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BDS 5620, 840 058, BDL 3105) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BDS 5620-A2 Bell Sound RCK SON and BDS 5620-B2 Bell Sound RCK SON. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is 100% Cotton on vinyl worth?
