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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-2547, LPM-2547, RD 7538, SF-7538) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, N2P Y 1913- 1S A1 I and N2P Y 1914- 1S I A2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
