The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Australia, US, UK, Japan and more. One of them is Apple Records PASA 10007.

How do I tell if my copy of Band On The Run is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PASA 10007, SO-3415, PAS 10007, EAP 80951) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YEX. 929 YAPAX-1127 and YEX. 930 YAPAX-1128. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
