The earliest pressings are from 1960, in US, UK, Australia, Canada and more. One of them is RCA Victor Red Seal LM 2363.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LM 2363, LSC-2363, SB.2080, RB-16204) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, K2 RP4153 I Λ1 and K2 RP4154 I Λ1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
