Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ZCVE 50420, 6121 125, J 27.172, 16 016 AT) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EKAS 28108 1S 1A 3 and EKAS 28109 1S 1A 5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
