The earliest pressings are from 1985, in UK, US, Italy, Australia and more. One of them is Greenpeace Records ApS RELP 2808, released June 10, 1985.
How do I tell if my copy of Greenpeace is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RELP 2808, FUND 1, SP 5091, VDI 108) 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.
