Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-3576, LPM-3576, LSP-50051, LJS-50051) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TPRS-3136- 2S A1 (var. 1) and TPRS-3137- 2S A2 (var. 1). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
