When was Manhattan first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1963, in US, Canada. One of them is London Records PS 328, released October 1963.
How do I tell if my copy of Manhattan is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PS 328, LL 3328) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, ZAL-6005-IR BB HV 1 and ZAL-6006-IR C HV 1.
