How do I tell if my copy of 14 is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LK 4695, LL 3430, PS 430, LL.3430-DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ARL-6785-3K and ARL-6786-1K. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is 14 on vinyl worth?
