Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BN-LA550-G, UAG 20003, BNLP-12102, BST 84 523 G) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, T1 BN-LA 550-1-1 [Artisan Sound Recorders logo] and T1 BN-LA 550-2-2 [Artisan Sound Recorders logo]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
