Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use (S)R-52100, R-52100, SCX 3507, 33SX 1592) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, R SD-339 A-1A o and R SD-339 B-1B o. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
