Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 200 335, SW 50069, 3-41-404-011, 2423-SUP-80.033) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 200335 A-1/79S and 200335 B-1/79S. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
