Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use STUMM 65, 7 71422-1, INT 146.849, STUMM 46065) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, STUMM 65 A-1 THE EXCHANGE DAMONT and STUMM 65 A [scratched]-B-1 MT1 THE EXCHANGE DAMONT. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
