When was Bostich first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1981, in US, UK. One of them is Stiff America TEES 12-10.
How do I tell if my copy of Bostich is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TEES 12-10, DUN 13, DUN IT 13) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TEES- 12-10-A STERLING and TEES- 12-10-B STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
How much is Bostich on vinyl worth?
