Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-3350, LPM-3350, RD 7721, SF 7721) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RPRS - 6888 - - 2 S A1 P. and RPRS - 6889 - - 2 S S1 P.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
