How to spot a first pressing of Vol. 2.

Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Vol. 2. are there?

10 vinyl pressings of Vol. 2. are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1965 and 2020.

When was Vol. 2. first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Scandinavia. One of them is Sonet SLP 51.

How do I tell if my copy of Vol. 2. is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLP 51) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 51 A and 51 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
