Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2 C 064-10 045, 2 C 064 - 10045, 2 C 064 - 10.045, 2 C 064-10045) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 C 064-10 045A and 2 C 064-10 045B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
