When was Misterioso first released on vinyl?
The earliest pressings are from 1958, in US. One of them is Riverside Records RLP 12-279.
How do I tell if my copy of Misterioso is a first pressing?
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use RLP 12-279) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, RLP 12-279 A and RLP 12-279 B.
