The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, Australia, Denmark, Japan and more. One of them is Capitol Records ST-21715.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-21715, ST 21715, SENC 10106, 6E 054 80627) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ST1 21715-2 and ST2 21715-3. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
