When was Aida first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1951, in US. One of them is Seraphim 1C-6016.
How do I tell if my copy of Aida is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 1C-6016) 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.
