When was Breakout first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1981, in UK, Canada. One of them is Bushays BFMLp101.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BFMLp101, BFMLP 101.) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
