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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TXS 3035, xx, PS-676, 119.531) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 850 ESS 1332✶1 SM COL and 850 ESS 1333✶1 SM COL. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
