Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS-10900, UAD 60011/2, UAS 10900, UAD. 60011) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, UAS 10900-A-1 1T and UAS 10900-B-2 2T. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
