When was DSU first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 2014, in US, UK & Europe. One of them is Orchid Tapes OCT042, released June 17, 2014.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use OCT042, LUCKY071LP) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
