When was Mathilde first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1964, in France. One of them is Barclay 70 635 M, released March 16, 1964.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 70 635 M, 70 635 Ⓜ) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, HBLY 70635A GF and HBLY 70635B GF.
