The earliest pressings are from 1979, in France, Europe, Germany, Canada and more. One of them is Elektra 52.180.

How do I tell if my copy of 7ème is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 52.180, 52 180, ELK 52 180, QFLP 52180) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, (52 180-A) and (52 180-B). Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
