Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LSO-1511, LOP-1511, L101816, 740.523) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A1 UPRS--5524--2S I and A2 UPRS--5525--2S I. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
