How to spot a first pressing of Misty

How many vinyl pressings of Misty are there?

When was Misty first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Argentina. One of them is MICSA SEL644.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SEL644) 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.
