Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 6E-192, K52141, ELK 52 141, P-10645E) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 6E-192 A RE-1 SP and 6E-192 A RE-1 SP. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
