Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PE 33409, PEQ 33409, EPC 69117, EPC S 69117) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, o PAL 33409-1F 1T C and o P BL 33409-1C 1T N. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
