Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use M 1224F, TMG 856, 5C 006-94322, TMSK 323) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, M̶1̶2̶2̶4̶F̶-61899-S 2̶6̶C̶ 2-16-73 1̶3̶0̶4̶5̶1̶3̶-̶0̶2̶A̶ and 1̶3̶0̶4̶5̶1̶3̶-̶0̶2̶B̶ M̶1̶2̶2̶4̶F̶-60463-S X 2-16-73. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
