The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US, UK, Canada, Argentina and more. One of them is MCA Records MCA2-8007.

How do I tell if my copy of More American Graffiti is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MCA2-8007, MCSP 270, 8007, MAPS-7879) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MCA-710-W1 2 and MCA-712-W3 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
