The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US. One of them is Flying Dutchman FD 10163.
How do I tell if my copy of Astral Traveling is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FD 10163, STEREO/FD 10163) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FD 10163 AR-l I I A1 and FD 10163 BR-l 1 I A1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
