Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AL 4079, ARTY 132, 8291, AL-4079) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL-4079-SA KEEL MASTERED BY CAPITOL and AL-4079-SB KEEL MASTERED BY CAPITOL. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
