The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Italy, France, Germany, Scandinavia and more. One of them is Cruisin' Records CRN 721.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CRN 721, 8570, 13.870, 5229) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CRN 721 A MG and CRN 721 B MG. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
