How do I tell if my copy of A Touch Of Tabasco is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM-2133, LSP-2133, L10875, LS 5199) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K2 PP6197-3S A1 R and K2 PP6198-5S A2 R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
