Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use Disco 3012, 5N-34001, Disco 3012 DJ, 5N-34001-DJ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZCL 8236-12 STERLING and ZCL 8236-12 X STERLING. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
