Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JS 36334, SBP 237402, 138182, CBS 70174) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 1 S PAL-36334 1B Wally MASTERED BY CAPITOL B8 and 1 S PBL-36334 1K Wally MASTERED BY CAPITOL A2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
