How do I tell if my copy of Weekend In L.A. is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2WB 3139, 2 WB 3139, K 66074, 36.051/2) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2-WB-1-3139 TML-M and 2-WB-2-3139 TML-M. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
