Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2406 001, 2406001, DL 79175, DL-79175) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2406001 A//1 1 1 and 2406001 B//1 1 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
