Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MAGL 5030, L 37158, 2S 068 63186, 1 C 064-63 186) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MAGL 5030 A-1U STRAWBERRY and MAGL 5030 B-1U STRAWBERRY. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
