The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, Canada, France. One of them is Impulse! AS-9130.

How do I tell if my copy of The Dealer is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AS-9130, A-9130) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AS 9130A Bell Sound AS-9130-A LW and AS 9130B Bell Sound AS-9130-B LW. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
