The earliest pressings are from 1986, in US, UK, Brazil, Canada and more. One of them is Epic FE 40275.

How do I tell if my copy of Hideaway is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FE 40275, EAS2487, EPC 26964, 304003) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, P (P) 0 PAL 40275-1B and P (AP) 0 PBL 40275-1E.
