Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SLP 00500, JM00500, 6346806, JM 00500) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SLP.00500-A IGoL STERLING and SLP.00500-B IGoL STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
