When was Actual first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1966, in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia. One of them is RCA Victor MKL-1710.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MKL-1710, MKS-1710, avl 3722, LPC 52-677) 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.
