How do I tell if my copy of Voodoo Chile is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2095-001, 2095 001, PS.128, 2121 011) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2095 001 A ∇ 1 1 1 1 3 and 2095 001 ∇ B 1 1 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
