How do I tell if my copy of Wayning Moments is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP3029, SR3029, SMJ-7056) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, N8OP-6806-1 Ф X I and N8OP-6807-1 Ф X I. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
