The earliest pressings are from 1965, in US, Australia, New Zealand. One of them is Columbia Masterworks MS 6786.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MS 6786, BSF 9050, SBR 235180 (MS 6786), BR475118) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, Side A: XXSM110741-1C and Side B: XXSM110742-1C. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
