The earliest pressings are from 1984, in Canada, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is K-Tel NC575.
How do I tell if my copy of Breakdance is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use NC575, NE 1276, NU 3360, PNU 4240) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, NC 575-A Qu and NC 575-B Qu.
