Michael Fremer within the last year in Steeophile answered this question, somewhat. I don't remember if his was label specific or in general but you should be able to check last years pretty quick at a library and find out what he had to say. Something about the last numbers on the inner groves by the label indicating when it was pressed. Do not quite remember it all. Hope someone else does to refresh my mind.
how to tell on first pressing vinyl releases
I started some flea market and ebay searches and am perplexed on how to tell if an album is a first pressing release or a later release.
Also are less than 180 gram re-releases decent quality (think jazz reissues in the $10-15 range from Acoustic Sounds)
I did luck out on a two eye Brubeck Time Out and what appear to be first issue Jose Feliciano and Joni Mitchell discs.
thanks
Tom
