When was Blue Hawaii first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Dot Records DLP 3165.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DLP 3165, DLP 25165, HA-D 2201, HAA 7552) 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.

How much is Blue Hawaii on vinyl worth?
