How many vinyl pressings of Favorites are there?

When was Favorites first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1967, in US. One of them is Unart Records S 21006.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S 21006, M 20006) 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.
