The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, UK, Barbados, El Salvador and more. One of them is RCA Victor PD-13218.
How do I tell if my copy of Inside Out is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PD-13218, PB-13217, JT-13218, JH-13217) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PD-13218-A and PD-13218-B.
