The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US, UK. One of them is Verve Records MG V-8274, released August 1958.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MG V-8274, 33CX 10122) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MGV 8274-A RE1 50608 and MGV 8274-B RE1 50609. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
