Questions

How many vinyl pressings of Norma are there?

When was Norma first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US. One of them is Angel Records S 35666, released March 1962.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 35666, 35666) 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.
