When was Tal first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1957, in US, Brazil. One of them is Verve Records MGV-8021, released May 1957.
How do I tell if my copy of Tal is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MGV-8021, SLP-2763) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MG V-8021-A and MG V-8021-B.
