The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Germany, UK, US, Netherlands and more. One of them is RSO 2090 418.
How do I tell if my copy of Desire is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2090 418, 55, RS 1019, 2090) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
