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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2530195, 2530 195, 25 30 195 SLPM) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 ℗ 1972 I 71◇Z1 00 2530 195 S 1 and 1 ℗ 1972 I 71◇Z1 00 2530 195 S 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
