Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SRK 6058, K 56531, 56532, 9147-6058) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 0 and SRK-1-6058 JW3 #1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is More Songs About Buildings And Food on vinyl worth?
