How do I tell if my copy of Kissin' Cousins is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM-2894, LSP-2894, LPM 2894, RD-7645) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RPRM-0228-2S A3 R and RPRM-0228-2S A3 R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
