Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use F. 12281, F.12281, 45 PAR 9796, 45-PAR 9796) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XDRF-35807-T1-1C and XDRF-35809-T1-1C. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
