    • Release history

    First Things First was originally released on LP and cassette in 1979. In the early 1990s it was released on CD; where that release contained an additional track, "Spiritual Equation". After being out of print for many years, in 2007 Bob Bennett arranged for a limited twenty-fifth anniversary edition; in addition to the original "bonus track", the 2007 release also contains an acoustic version of "Spiritual Equation" and newly recorded song by song commentaries.
