The earliest pressings are from 1972, in France, UK, Australia, Brazil and more. One of them is Polydor 2310160.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2310160, 2310 160, 23 10 160) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2310160 1 380 and 2310160 2 380. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
