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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use KH 30133, S 52827) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P AL-30133-1D I 2 A2 0 KH and P-Bl-30133-1B I A 2 KH.
