Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSP-1738, LPM-1738, L10627, LPM 1738) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, J2PY-2116 and J2PY-2117. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
