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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 844 731 BY, SBL.7848, PST 5082, 85565 PY) 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.
