Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 24.0001-1, 2374 212, 28·3P-406, 229 24 0001-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2400011 A STRAWBERRY (G) and 2400011 B STRAWBERRY (G). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
