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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AFL1-4565, RCALP 3109, APL1 4565, PL 84565) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AFL1-4565-A ⸱ RCA-1 F I MASTERDISK HW Ʌ I F and AFL1-4565-B - RCA-1 MASTERDISK HW I Ʌ I A.
