The earliest pressings are from 1974, in UK, US, Germany, Israel and more. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 3001.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 3001, S-37003, 1 C 063-02 463, 3c 065-02463) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YRM 4891-1 1 G and 2YRM 4892-1 1 R. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
