Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 38-04310, AS 1810, CBS A 12.4101, A 4101) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P ZSS-169547 1A MASTERED BY CAPITOL Wally and P ZSS-169548 1B MASTERED BY CAPITOL Wally. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
