When was Spice first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1996, in UK. One of them is Virgin V2812.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V2812) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, D V 2812 A-2-1- and D V 2812 B-2-1-.
