Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PZ 33070, PZQ 33070, EPC 80317, SBP 234550) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL-33070-1A S and BL-33070-1B S. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
