Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use E3882P, E388 2P, SE3882P, MGM-SE3882P) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, E-3882 S1 1 60-MG-658 [sailor's cap] and E-3882 S2 2 60- MG-659. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
