The earliest pressings are from 1981, in US, UK, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is Geffen Records GHS 2006.
How do I tell if my copy of Standing Hampton is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use GHS 2006, GEF 85456, XGHS 2006, 85456) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, GHS 1-2006-1B COLUMBIA NY and GHS-2-2006-1A COLUMBIA NY.
