Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 7-18035, W0268P, 9 41772-0, 0-41772-A) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7-18035-A-SR1 1-1 and 7-18035-B-SR1 1-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
