When was Requiem first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in Germany. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon LPM 18 547/48, released August 1959.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LPM 18 547/48, 138 026/27 SLPM) 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.
