Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UA-LA693-G, UAS 30039, L 36036, UALP 12117) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T I UA-LA 693-1-3 DINO UA and T I UA-LA693-2-7 A2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
