The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US, UK. One of them is Atlantic 1449.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1449, SD 1449, BL.7733, 840 247 BY) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-12307-A LW AT W and A-12308-A LW AT W. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
