Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MG 50329, SR90329, SR90329(E), 121.007 MSL) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG 50329A RFR-2 17 and MG 50329B RFR-3 R1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
