How do I tell if my copy of Fright Night is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SZ 40087, PRI 8001, EPC 70270, CYA 1122) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P (A) AL-40087-1A and P (A) BL-40087-1B.
