The earliest pressings are from 1988, in UK, Spain. One of them is One Little Indian 10tp10, released April 1988.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 10tp10, 7tp10, 12tp10, 12TP 10) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MPO 10 TP 10 A1 TownHouse and MPO 10 TP 10 B1 TownHouse.
