The earliest pressings are from 1981, in Germany, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is 20th Century Fox Records FB 2492.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FB 2492, TCD 2492, TC 2492, TC-2492) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RCA- FB-2492-A PF and RCA FB-2492-B.
