When was Desire first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1975, in US. One of them is Columbia 33893.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33893) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, AL-33893-3BA and BL 33893-3K.
