Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 7005, 72607, S 75607, S 72 607) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Stamped Side 1: XXSM117578-2B Side 2: XXSM117579-3B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
