How do I tell if my copy of Fiesta is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FG2 12, FG 2, FG2, X 14609) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FG 2 12 -A1 TOWNHOUSE DMM DAMONT K and FG 2 12 -B1 TOWNHOUSE DMM 1 DAMONT H.
