The earliest pressings are from 1973, in US, New Zealand. One of them is Paramount Records PAS 1016.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PAS 1016, L35096) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PAS 1016-3A (MR) v △18557(1) and PAS 1016-3B (MR) △18557 x(1).
