The earliest pressings are from 1962, in UK, US, Italy, Australia and more. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 493.

How do I tell if my copy of Symphony No.9 is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 493, ALP 1929, PASD 493, 60047) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YVH 41-1 A 1 and 2YVH 42-1 R 1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
