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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0-86168, 7-87893, DMD 1502, A 7893 T) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STDM-58789-58788-1 1-1 [SRC logo] and STDM-58790-58791-1 1-1 [SRC logo]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
