When was Caliente first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1959, in Brazil, Argentina. One of them is Musidisc HI-FI-2034.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HI-FI-2034, ST-2034, MS-70.006, MF-1010) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HI-FI-2034-A and HI-FI-2034-B. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
