Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TRI-V-97X, NEC 759581, 12 TIVDJ 87, 12 TIV 87) 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.

How much is Desire on vinyl worth?
