Which LP pressing is best?

I am starting to scour ebay and elsewhere for lp's. Obviously, condition is a major factor (as is a thorough wash), but there are better and lessor pressings for many (most?) lp's.

Besides buying several and listening, is there any general way to predict which is better -e.g., first pressing, etc. Is there anywhere out there in cyberspace that might have this people's opinions re this? Is there any way to track an album's pressing history? Can I ask any other very obscure questions? :)

Thanks, Chuck

Steve's forum has several lp freaks and often discuss pressings. Tom Port, one of the most knowledgable record people around hangs there sometimes, you can also check out his on-line lp store, Beter Records at http://www.dccblowout.com/

enjoy the journey.
