Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST 2978, ST-2978, SENC.9776, SENC 9776) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST1 2978 H5 #1 and ST2 2978 H6 #2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
