Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RCALP 6100, VPL1-7455, 104.7110, KKL1-0490) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RCALP 6100 A-1U-1-2 Bilbo Tape One and RCALP 6100 B-1U-1-2 Bilbo Tape One. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
