When was Waltzes first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in USSR. One of them is Всесоюзная Студия Грамзаписи 33Д-014279.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33Д-014279) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 33Д014279/1-2 and 33Д014280/1-3. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
