When was Shine first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1994, in UK, US, France, Germany and more. One of them is Bubblin' Records BUBB 3.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BUBB 3, 12 BUBB 3, 0-95803, 12 BUBBX 3) 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.
