How do I tell if my copy of Trick Bag is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 2252, K 54078, 24.001, REP 54 078) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MS-1 2252 W W 1 -◁ KEDUN A and MS-2 2252 W W 1 -◁ KENDUN A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
