Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CDS 4015, CA-1-2201, 9211-4015, 9124 033) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CDS 4015 A//2 EUSA 1 1 5 and CDS 4015 B//2 EUSA 1 1 5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
