Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 ANA 41) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 ANA 41 A1 MINES A PINT. MPO A PORKY PRIME CUT and 12 ANA 41 B1 WHAT'S YOURS? MPO. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
