When was Soul Station first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US. One of them is Blue Note BLP 4031.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4031) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN-LP 4031 A and BN-LP 4031 B.
