The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, Argentina, Canada, Greece and more. One of them is Butterfly Records FLY-3102.
How do I tell if my copy of Bernadette is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FLY-3102, FLY 3102, SLIN 3038, FLY 20.009) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA-1804-A Long Live Pie 'N Ears AZ CB and MCA-1804-B AZ CB.
