Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-6071, 59 059) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K-45-12270 (-2) LH and K-45-12271 (-1) LH. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
