Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAWT 9487-A) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K LP-Ste-073029 Manufactured In Germany and K LP-Ste-073030 Manufactured In Germany. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
