The earliest pressings are from 1970, in UK, Europe, France, Germany and more. One of them is Island Records IDP 1.

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IDP 1, 6650 001, 6.650.001, 6830 042) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, IDP + 1 + A and IDP + 1 + B.
