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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PC 34090, SBP 234828, KC 34090, CBS 81340) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 0 T1 PAL 34090-1A B and T1 PBL 34090-1A 0 Ʌ. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
