How do I tell if my copy of Violin Concerto is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 35780, SAX 2315) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
