Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GHS 24063, GEF 70263, XGHS 24063, 28AP 3000) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GHS-24063-A SR4 1-1SM1-1 [SRC logo] and GHS-24063-B SR4 1-2 [SRC logo]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
