Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CHR 1339, L 37596, 203 645-320, WWS-81428) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CHR1339 A//2▽ E T 1 1 1 and CHR1339 B//1▽ E T 1 2 5. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
