How do I tell if my copy of 1965 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BT 6237, JUN-4001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
