When was Pretty Girl first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1970, in New Zealand, UK, US, Australia and more. One of them is His Master's Voice HR.399.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HR.399, 7455, DB 8711, DO-9330) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7XAN.511 and 7XAN.512.
