When was Serenade first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1961, in UK. One of them is Parlophone PMC1149, released January 1, 1961.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PMC1149, PCS 3019) 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.
