The earliest pressings are from 1985, in US. One of them is Greenworld Records GWD90522.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GWD90522) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GWD-90522 G-2 S-15174 2-1 D.I. is CALLING E__ and GWD-90522 G-1 S-15175 1-1 RIKALFCASEYBOSCOJON + DRACK.
