When was Overdog first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Deram SDL 2.
How do I tell if my copy of Overdog is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SDL 2, SDL2, DES 18057, DL-27) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL-10436 and XZAL-10437.
