How do I tell if my copy of A' Go-Go is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MT-649, M 649, MS 649, MS649) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TR4M--3669-1-G and TR4M--3670-1-F. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is A' Go-Go on vinyl worth?
