The earliest pressings are from 1954, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is MGM Records E-229.
How do I tell if my copy of Rose Marie is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use E-229, X229, MGM 229, D-128) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, E229 S1 and E229 S2.
