When was Anka first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1973, in South Africa. One of them is United Artists Records UAS 7076E.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use UAS 7076E) 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.
