The earliest pressings are from 1982, in South Africa, UK, US, Brazil and more. One of them is Salsoul Records SALP (L) 245.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SALP (L) 245, EPC 25110, SA-8555, 104.8250) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, SALP 245-A and SALP 245-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
