Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 35799, S CBS 83587, 25AP 1699, 20.058) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAL 35799-1N and PBL 35799-1N. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
