The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and more. One of them is Liberty LRP-3458.
How do I tell if my copy of Popsicle is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LRP-3458, LST-7458, LRP 3458, LBY 1325) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LRP-3458-1 and LRP-3458-2.
