Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 2722, S-36047, 1 C 063-02183, 3C 065 - 02183) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YEA.4253 and 2YEA.4254. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
