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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPCT 0119, PCT0 119, PCTO 119) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LPCT 0119 A go and LPCT 0119 B go.
