Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 237 158, LPHM 46658) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 237199 2-A Made in Germany G2 H-W E 237158 ² A and 237158 B Made in Germany G3 G-K C. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
