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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 BONG 3, 7 BONG 3, L12 BONG 3, 9 20165-0) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 BONG 3 A4 GG TOWNHOUSE ARE YOU DREAMING OF ME MATE and 12" BONG 3 B2 GG TOWNHOUSE Very Vewy Impwested (Just hope you have a hit). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
