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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSC-2395, LM-2395) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K2 RY1794-10S I A2 and K2 RY1795-10S I A3.
