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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZSCVE 55742, INT 6001, PK 001, ABL.7024) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EKAY 28106 1S A3 1 and EKAY 28107 1S A1 3. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
