Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 60460-1, E1 60460, 96 04601, 960460-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STE-60460-A-DMM-1 and STE-60460-B-DMM-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
