Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-12558, EST 2043, ST.240806, 066 240806 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-12558-1 1A 2G and ST-12558-2 1A 2G. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
