The earliest pressings are from 1970, in US, UK, Australia, France and more. One of them is Reprise Records 0919.

How do I tell if my copy of Canned Ham is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 0919, RS.20919, R 02143, RV. 20245) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, N 18594RE-1-2B and M 17564-1A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
