Pressings
The list here is short. The earliest on file is the 1961 French Fontana 680 207 TL in mono; the Netherlands issued the same number, also mono, and a stereo as 885 500 TY, both undated in our data. We hold no US pressing and no modern reissue for this title, so a European Fontana in decent condition is realistically the copy you will find.
