When was Orientale first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, Canada. One of them is Capitol Records P-8453.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use P-8453, P8453) 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.
