The earliest pressings are from 1975, in France, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is ATCO Records 10 665.
How do I tell if my copy of Jaws is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 10 665, K 10665, 45-7032, ATCO 7032) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 10665 A and 10665 B.
