The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, Australia, Canada, Thailand. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6232.

How do I tell if my copy of Tiny Bubbles is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6232, R-6232, RS-6232, 6232) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 30607 RS 6232 1F 1 1 and 2 P.
