The earliest pressings are from 1992, in UK, Argentina, Brazil, Europe and more. One of them is Vertigo 512 121-1.
How do I tell if my copy of Masque is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 512 121-1, 29.426) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 512 121-1 111 and 512 121-1 112. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
