How do I tell if my copy of Kee-Ka-Roo is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8739, V-8739, V/8739, SVLP9210) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V6-8739 SIDE-1 MGS-1318 and V6-8739 SIDE-2 MGS-1319. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
