How do I tell if my copy of Master is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 64242, 19.071, SBP 233904, SBP 473833) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S-64242-A1 A and S-64242-B1 A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
