YF-7019-ND: MKWAJU
There's not a lot of information on the original printing of this album but I managed to find the information for the vinyl from Discogs, along with a source picture that shows the catalogue number in the upper right of the image.
Most sites are listing COCO-7764 as the 1981 printing (Including Joe Hisaishi's official site) but this is impossible because it's a CD and CDs didn't come out until 1982 at the earliest. The first CD release is likely in 1991, which was the first reprint.
It's also supported by the fact that the total album length is under the limit for vinyl media. It's a fair assumption that Side 1 would have been Mkwaju Suite (19:52 < 25:00) and Side 2 would have been Pulse In My Mind + Flash-Back (5:41 + 12:37 < 25:00).
If anyone find additional hard evidence (it will most likely come from an auction), feel free to update.
