How do I tell if my copy of Home Cookin' is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4050, 84050) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RVG BN-LP-4050•A-1 and RVG BN-LP-4050•B-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
