Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 30008, DASH 30008, S TKR 82502, TKR 82502) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DASH 30008 ̶B̶ A STERLING and DASH 30008 A̶ B STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
