Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AS 1015, ARIST 496, 104 704, S-776) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AS.1015.SA.2.SP 1-1 Criteria MF and AS.1015.SB.2.SP 1-1 Criteria MF. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
