The earliest pressings are from 1982, in Mexico, US, Puerto Rico, Argentina and more. One of them is Raff RF-9105, released June 3, 1982.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RF-9105, RF 9105, RF-9089, DP-1012) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RF-90 9105-A Ulises and RF-9105-B Ulises. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
