When was Anadolu first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in Turkey. One of them is Kent 112.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 112, LP STX- 112) 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.
