Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 60295-1, P-11433, 96 02951, 96-0295-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A MX208551 60295-1-1 and A MX208552-C 60295-1-2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
