When was Cocker Happy first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1971, in UK, Australia, Germany, Greece and more. One of them is Fly Records HIFLY 3.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use HIFLY 3, SITFL-934121, 80 997 IT, SCXG 1018) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FLY 3A and FLY 3B.
