Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use VPA 8175, S 88 111, SLPX 15048, DP1009) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, VPA 8175 A 26/9/73 and VPA 8175 B 26/9/73. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
