Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6480 058, NBLP 7258, 25S-37, 64 80 058) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6480 058 1 Y = 2 320 and 6480 058 2 Y = 4 320. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
