Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 28 233 XOT, 28333-A, 28 333 XOT, AM 5142) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 28333-A//HL305451-7 CP and 28333-B//HL305461-7 CP. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
