Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 833 671-1, 833 461-1, POLD 5216, SP-5155) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 833 461 - 1 S 1 320 R 1 and 833 461 - 1 S 2 320 O 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
