Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 208 697, 208 626, 408 626, 8420-1-R) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 208626 A 1/10-87 II and DM 208626 B 1/10-87 II. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
