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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LBS 83 279 I, LBS 83279) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, C 83279 A-1 Made in Germany and 83 279 B-2 Made in Germany.
