The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is ABC Dot DOSD-2035.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DOSD-2035, DO-2035, ABCL 5147, L35764) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DO 2035 A W2 and DO 2035 B W2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
