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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 8236, RANK 5058) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RVG 4-8-60 ABM NJLP - 8236 A and RVG NJLP - 8236 B.
