How do I tell if my copy of Change Of The Century is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1327, HAM-K 6167, SD 1327, ATL-5043) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AVCO ST-A-60211 and AVCO ST-A-60212. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
