The earliest pressings are from 1959, in Germany, US, Canada, France and more. One of them is RCA 47-7525.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 47-7525, 61-7525, 45.330, 47g 688) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K 2 ZW-2376 and K 2 ZW-2377.
