Pressings
Nothing here is flagged as our earliest, but the original-era copies are all 1965 Verve: mono V-8614 with an RVG stamp, stereo V6-8614 in both laminated and non-laminated sleeves, club editions, a Canadian V 8614 (D) and a Japanese SMV-1041. Sleeve lamination is the thing to check before you commit. Later options are thin -- a 1993 Japanese LEX-9315 and an undated Verve 827 756-1.
