Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAX 2316, ANGEL 3601 B /L, ANGEL 3601BL "S", SAXO 2316) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX 309-13 and YAX 310-8. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
