When was Twist first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1962, in US, Canada. One of them is Chess LP 1465.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LP 1465) 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.
