Thanks for the info.  In the case of the New Left Review, because it says
'Second Series' and is clearly the same publication, I add the information
in the 362 field under the 1 record rule.

Just to cause trouble ;-)
Actually, you need to also look at LCRI 12.3G BEFORE the section on One
record:

Two records:

Create separate records when a serial's enumeration repeats the exact
numeric designation and the publisher does not link the old and new
systems with a designation such as "new series" or "second series."

   record 1: 362 0# $a Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1960)-v. 5, no. 6 (June 1964)
   record 2: 362 0# $a Vol. 1, no. 1 (July 1964)-

   record 1: 362 0# $a Tome 1-t. 8
             (Eight volumes published 1979-1986)
   record 2: 362 0# $a Tome 1 (1987)-

[The reason for this LCRI is that sometimes, and this is where the
cataloger's judgement comes into play, the volume numbering starts
over as an indication that the publication is no longer the same
publication that it formerly was.  Thus, the cataloger needs to look
at the publication and determine if the subject coverage is
different, i.e. needs new/different subject headings, and/or the
classification number needs to be changed. Note the wording, "and the
publisher does not link the old and new systems with a designation
such as 'new series' or 'second series.'" -- Mitch]

        Sorry, but I was consciously trying to avoid quoting the entire
LCRI, so stuck to only the most pertinent bit.
        The rule cited by Mr. Turitz covers those annoying cases where
numbering repeats WITHOUT "new series", "2nd series" or some such
designation.  These DO require a new record (lest shelvers have to deal
with 2 different "v. 1"s at the same call no.).
        There may indeed be cases (I couldn't at the moment cite an
example) where the "new series" introduced significant changes in subject
matter, but I'd say they're pretty rare.  Normally, an explicit "new
series" statement calls for a 362 update, not a new record.
