Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 829 986-1, 831 708-1, POLD 5198, 829 986-1 Y-1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 829 986-1 S 1 320 and 829 986-1 S 2 320. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
