The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US. One of them is London Records CM 9246.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CM 9246) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ARL-4695-1A C <A3> - and ARL-4696-1A [] A 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
