Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PL 12 366, PL 12 366 N, P-45903, K 12367) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, WEA P.45 903.A 12366 A PF. and WEA P.45 903.B PF.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
