How do I tell if my copy of Rhythm Of Youth is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STAT 10, STAT LP10, STAT P10, BT-7007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STAT-10 A JW QU and STAT-10·B JW QU.
