When was Components first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4213.
How do I tell if my copy of Components is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4213, BST 84213) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BNLP-4213-A- VAN GELDER and BNLP-4213-B- VAN GELDER. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
