How do I tell if my copy of Latin American Fiesta is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 6514, ML 5914, SBRG 72186, 9068) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XXSM-75246-1E T and XXSM-75247-1E T. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
