Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MINC(L) 1040, SHAKA 1, 9 23898-1, 92 38981) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MINC 1040-A -1 and MINC 1040-B -1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
