How do I tell if my copy of Sandy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use POP 1533, 72381, EA-4786, 7MG 196) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7 XEA 22264-1 O KT 2 and 7 XEA 22265-1 O KT 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
