When was Hot Fuss first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 2004, in UK, US. One of them is Lizard King Records LIZARD011X, released June 7, 2004.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LIZARD011X, CGO 017) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, LIZARD-011X-A-1 COLD-T and LIZARD-011X-B-1. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
