Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 12 KUT 109, (P)12 KUT 109, KUT 109) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 12 KUT 109 A1 ✱ MAX. and 12 KUT 109 B1 ✱ MAX.. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
