Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SML 1076, DES 18055, X ZAL-10152-P, ISK 1082) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XZAL-10152-P-1 C 1 and XZAL-10153 P-1 U 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
