The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, US, Canada, Europe and more. One of them is CBS S 63965, released November 1970.
How do I tell if my copy of Skid is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 63965, E 30404) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S 63965 A1 ∴ and S 63965 B1 ∴. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
