Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRN LP 19, 1-90943, 60.007, VL 3055) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SRNLP 19 A-1U-1-2 DB TAPE ONE D̶I̶X̶ ̶7̶8̶ ̶A̶-̶1̶U̶-̶1̶-̶ and SRNLP 19 B-1U-1-5 DB TAPE ONE D̶I̶X̶ ̶7̶8̶ ̶B̶-̶1̶U̶-̶1̶-̶.
