The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Reprise Records RS 6347.

How do I tell if my copy of Memories is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RS 6347, RSLP 6347, RS-6347, SRI 6347) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 30903 RS 6347A 1C and 30904 RS 6347B 1C. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
