When was Set first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1980, in UK. One of them is T Records RANK2.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RANK2) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
