Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 200,006, JU 200 006, PTK-92065, ELPS 4049) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, JUANA-200,006-A - VPS STERLING and JUANA-200,006-B - VPS STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
