How do I tell if my copy of Speak No Evil is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BST 84194, BLP 4194) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BNST - 84194 A VAN GELDER P and BNST - 84194 B VAN GELDER P. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
