The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US. One of them is Prestige LP 7048.
How do I tell if my copy of 4, 5 And 6 is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP 7048) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PRLP-7048-A AB RVG and PRLP-7048-B AB RVG.
