When was Portraits first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1964, in US. One of them is Pacific Jazz ST-80.
How do I tell if my copy of Portraits is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ST-80, PJ-80) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, A-4065 and B-4065-2. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
