The earliest pressings are from 1970, in Italy. One of them is Columbia 3C 006 - 04700 M.
How do I tell if my copy of Apache is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 3C 006 - 04700 M) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 04700-M-A and 04700-M-B - 10-12-70 T1.
