The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Transatlantic Records TRA 235, released June 1971.
How do I tell if my copy of Rosemary Lane is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TRA 235, RS 6455, STAL-934267, SWG-7521) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TRA 235 A=-1 M 1 and TRA 235 B=-1 M 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
