Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 45-6291, ATCO. 6291) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 63C-7557-1 7J and 63C-7560-1 7A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
