The earliest pressings are from 1983, in Belgium, Netherlands. One of them is Giant Records G 712.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use G 712, MEGATON 0007) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, G . 712 - A // 53203-1-Y C1 -- and G 712 - B // 53204-1-Y C1 --. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
