Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GODX 106, GOD 106, 500 206-2, 857 481-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DFI 93 8 GODX 106 A1 and DFI 93 8 GODX 106 B1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
