The earliest pressings are from 1967, in France, Brazil. One of them is Barclay 71 179, released June 1967.
How do I tell if my copy of Va is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 71 179, 71179, 71 179 M, BARCD-2029) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, H BLY 71179 A2 T and HBLY 71179 B2 T.
