How do I tell if my copy of Raw Blues is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCL 1220, ACL 1220, PS 543, SCLA 1220) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-7561-1W U KT 1 and ZAL-7562-1W C KT 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
