The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US, UK, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is A&M Records 850.
How do I tell if my copy of Casino Royale is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 850, AMS 700, AMS.700, AMK-1735) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A&M 1292 MR △65849 and A&M 1293-RE MR △65849-X. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
