Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EMC 3433, ST-17094, SLEM-1148, EMCJ(L) 5306) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EMC 3433 A - 4 U - 1 - 1 ARUN and EMC 3433 B - 2 U - 1 - 1 - x1 TOWN HOUSE. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
