When was More first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1990, in UK, Europe. One of them is Merciful Release MR47, released September 24, 1990.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use MR47, MR47 T, MR47T, MR 47T) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, MR 47-A LYN 27230 and MR 47-B LYN-27231.
