The earliest pressings are from 1979, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Columbia JC 36137.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use JC 36137, S CBS 83801, SBP 237415, CBS 83801) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PBL36137-1D and PAL 36137 1AH.
