The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK, Australia, France, Germany and more. One of them is Calibre CAB LP 1002.
How do I tell if my copy of Mystic Energy is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use CAB LP 1002, CABLP 1002, PYLP 12, CALP 1002) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, CAB LP 1002 A4 Tone and CAB LP 1002 B2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
