Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-9227) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 45-K2HAW-0755-X SF-S B Manufactured in Germany and 45-K2HAW-0756-X SF-S B Manufactured in Germany. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
