Depends on when the Columbia LP was pressed. On line there are galleries of labels (2 eye, 6 eye, etc) and you can identify them that way. The pressings from the 50's and 60's are best, 80's (possibly) are worst, but that should also be taken on a case by case basis.
You can't go wrong seeking out the old ones if they are in decent shape.
