The earliest pressings are from 1965, in France. One of them is Barclay 70904, released December 1965.
How do I tell if my copy of Potemkine is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 70904, 70 904, 70 904 M) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 70904 A GP and HBLY 70904 B2 GP.
