The earliest pressings are from 1975, in UK, US, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Capitol Records E-ST 11397.
How do I tell if my copy of Bankrupt is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use E-ST 11397, ST 11397, ST-11397, ST-16179) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, E ST1 11397-1 RJL and E ST2 11397-1 RJL. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
