When was Sweets first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1956, in US. One of them is Clef Records MG C-717.
How do I tell if my copy of Sweets is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MG C-717, G-430-A) 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.
