Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V-8614, V6-8614, V6/8614, V 8614 (D)) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V-8614 65VG-116 VAN GELDER and V-8614 65VG-117 VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
