The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4042, released September 1960.
How do I tell if my copy of Horace-Scope is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4042, BST-84042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN-LP-4042•A-1 "Ear" RVG and BN-LP-4042-B-1 RVG "Ear". Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
