Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2310-702, 2310 702, LP 4340, 2310 702 L) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P5-1 PP-1019-A and P5-2 PP-1020-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
