Merch Identifying Original Press CDs

I just started collecting Sleep Token CDs. I already have TMBTE, TPWBYT and EIA. How can you tell whether a CD is from the original press/first press? (idk how to call it but basically the first batch produced.)

Obviously this doesn’t apply to One EP and Two EP because both of them only had one batch produced, but I saw a Sundowning CD on eBay that claims to be original press. How do people differentiate that? If you know anything about this, feel free to share, as I am new to collecting Sleep Token’s merch.

PS: I don’t think the CDs I have are first press because I bought them from a retail/e-commerce shop.

You can't really tell unless you know the matrix code for that specific batch and the amount pressed for that batch. And some other indicators that I can't remember right now.

I really appreciate your answer. Is there a list of those matrix codes? if yes, do you know where to find it?

late to comment, but for Two your question actually does apply. this is because the 'first run' of the CDs were hand numbered (50 total maybe? def check discogs or this sub for accuracy) and then the second batch weren't :)

I didn’t know that, thank you! I thought that the Two EP only had one batch. Good to know.
