Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 90608-1, BRLP 513, ISL 1140, 208 458) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST-IL 876419-A SP 1-1 DMM Precision and ST-IL 876420-A SP 1-1 DMM Precision. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
