Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 8267, SD-8267, 2400 027, 2400027) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST -A 701985-1B CP P A 4 and ST -A 701986-1B CP P A 5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
