When was Patty Baby first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is Swan S-4139.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use S-4139, S-4139-P, SS 201, EA-4550) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, S-4139-P and S-4139-N. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
