The earliest pressings are from 1955, in US, France, Germany, Italy and more. One of them is Jazztone J-1002.

How do I tell if my copy of Timeless Jazz is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use J-1002, J-1201, CHJ-1201, J. 1002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, J-1002 PT 1 and J-1002 PT 2.
