The earliest pressings are from 1963, in USSR. One of them is Апрелевский Завод 33Д—011937.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33Д—011937) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
