How do I tell if my copy of Don Giovanni is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSC-6410, LM-6410, SHP-2032~5) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
