When was Juggernaut first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, UK, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Columbia PC 38023.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PC 38023, FC 38023, 85793, CX 85793) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL 38023 and BL 38023.
