How many vinyl pressings of Requiem are there?

When was Requiem first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1952, in France. One of them is Columbia 33 FCX 108.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33 FCX 108) 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.
