Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33CX 1532, SAX 2260, ANG. 35711, ST C 90 915) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XAX 1332-4N GD 2 3 and XAX 1333-42N RR 1 2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
