The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, Canada, France. One of them is Bluesway BLS-6034.
How do I tell if my copy of Yer' Album is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLS-6034, BLS 6034, ABCS 688, A BCS 688) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BLS 6034 A LW SS and BLS 6034 B LW SS LH. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
