When was Bella Ciao first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1965, in Italy. One of them is I Dischi Del Sole DS 101/3.

How do I tell if my copy of Bella Ciao is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DS 101/3) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DS 101/3/CP A BIS and DS 101/3/CP B BIS.
