Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RAL 7, LPM-10081, AVL-3299, 30 M 006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LKAP-7339-1S. 1A and LKAP-7340-2S. 1A 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
