The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Germany, US, UK, Argentina and more. One of them is Grunt FB 1750.
How do I tell if my copy of Jane is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FB 1750, FB-11750, FB-1750, FB- 1750) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FB 1750-A and FB 1750-B.
