When was Bud Shank first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US, France. One of them is Pacific Jazz PJ-1215.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PJ-1215, 1215, LDM 30.054) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, PJ · V-5510-632-D-1 and PJ · V-5510-633-D-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
