The earliest pressings are from 1986, in Netherlands, UK, France, Germany and more. One of them is Red Bullet R.B. 12.1.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use R.B. 12.1, RB 1, CAR 406, CART 406) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RB 12 1 A1 and RB 12 1 B1.
