Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DCA-51) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, COL-12-99-1 I and COL-12-100-1 F. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
