Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F.12014, F 12014, AT.15040, AT 15 040) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XDRF-34216-T1-1C B KT 2B and XDRF-34215-T1-1C UB KT 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
