The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal LM-2112, released August 16, 1957.
How do I tell if my copy of Vienna is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LM-2112) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, H2 RP2313-14S I D1 and H2 RP2314-11S I D2.
