The earliest pressings are from 1996, in US, Sweden. One of them is Gates Of Dawn GOD 003.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GOD 003, RHPD 9) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GOD-003 A1 RE1 8331(2) and GOD-003 B1 6262(2).
