When was Mixed Bag first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1966, in US. One of them is Verve Forecast FT-3006, released December 1966.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use FT-3006, FTS-3006) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, FT3006 SIDE 1 MG230 and FT3006 SIDE 2 MG231. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
