The earliest pressings are from 1980, in Netherlands, US, UK, Australia and more. One of them is Epic EPC 12.9053.
How do I tell if my copy of Lovely One is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EPC 12.9053, 9-50938, S EPC 9302, XPS 109) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 11-9053-1A-1 A and 11-9053-1B-1 A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
