Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SR 61039, SR-659-C, MG 21039, 20070 MCL) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SR 61039-A-M3 RR and SR 61039-B-M1 RR. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
