How do I tell if my copy of More Than A New Discovery is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FTS 3020, FT 3020) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FTS 3020 SIDE1 MGS 780 and FTS 3020 SIDE2 MGS 781. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
