Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F3096, CL.14306, 45-CL 14306, F - 3096) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 45-13482-N1 and 45-13484-N2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
