Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SD 6000, HAU 8370, SD. 6000, LNU 379 007 - 379 007 LNU) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-P-681277-A AT LW RG M and ST-P-681278-A AT LW RG M. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
