When was Memorial first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK. One of them is Stateside SL 10122.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SL 10122) 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.
