Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EST 2091, C1-91866, ST 791866, 066 791866 1) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EST 2091 A-1-1-1- D and EST 2091 B-1-1-1- D. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
