Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CS 9715, CL 2915, 63429, S63429) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S / XSM 137830-1E º B2 and Ƨ \ XSM 137831-1B º B2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
