How do I tell if my copy of Concerto No. 1 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSC-2724, 645.027, 635.027, LM-2724) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RRRS-3224--1S A1 R and RRRS-3225--1S A1 R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
