Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SP 5060, 7-01-680606-5, SP-5060, AMA 5060) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SP-05060-A and SP-05060-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
