Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ILPS 9444, L 36061, 28 187 XOT, 28 151 XOT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, I-7 ILPS 9444 A1 EG and I-4 ILPS 9444 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
