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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 5C 062 - 15672, 2C 066-15572, 3C 064-15572, XEMC-8027) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG 308455 2 MG 308456.
