When was Bobby first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1972, in Israel. One of them is His Master's Voice IND 1041.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use IND 1041) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
