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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-11260, 5C 062-95 087, 1C 062-95 087, 3C 064-95087) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1-11260-F-3 MASTERED BY CAPITOL and 2-11260-F-3 MASTERED BY CAPITOL. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
