How do I tell if my copy of The E.P.'s Of R.P. is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Christ It's 15, CHRIST ITS 15) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHRIST IT'S 15 A-1 MPO and CHRIST IT'S 15 B-1 WE KNOW NOTHING OF FAILURE - THE FARCE CONTINUES.. MPO. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
