Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TSU 6031, 12TIVDJ173, 12TIV-173, MM 88489-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 08 47739 20 1A1 TSU 6031 and 08 47739 20 2B1 TSU 6031. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
