The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US. One of them is Jostens Inc. AU-7801.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use AU-7801) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S.1 R4362AYC D-3 and S.2 R4363AYC D-3.
