When was Newk's Time first released on vinyl?

How do I tell if my copy of Newk's Time is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use BLP 4001) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BN-LP-4001-A [ear] M9 RVG and BN-LP-4001-B [ear] M9 RVG. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
