Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SCLP 9246, SCLP 92460, L.P. 9246, SCLP-92460) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MC-20433 12 6/V AudioMatrix and MC-20434 10 T A AB AudioMatrix. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
