How do I tell if my copy of Symphony No. 1 In C Minor is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAX 2262, 35481, 33-SAXQ 7262) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX 24-13 G 1 and YAX 25-3 A 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
