Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LRLP 102, SNTF 658, JLS 3065, 9098 - 3065) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, O LRLP-102 A and O LRLP-102 B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
