Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Anthology are there?

When was Anthology first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Israel. One of them is Motown M9-794 A2.

How do I tell if my copy of Anthology is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M9-794 A2) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
