Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 5366, CP-1596, CR-1231) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 45-53320-P3 [A2 R] and 45-53321-T2 [R]. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
