The earliest pressings are from 1997, in France. One of them is Osmose Productions OPLP Ltd 053, released March 17, 1997.
How do I tell if my copy of Eld is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OPLP Ltd 053) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, OPLP 053 A ◍ and OPLP 053 B ◍.
