The earliest pressings are from 1983, in US, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and more. One of them is Columbia FC 38640.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FC 38640, 50333, AAP 86, 28・3P-446) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL 38640 and BL 38640.
