When was Adagio first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1972, in UK, Switzerland. One of them is Deutsche Grammophon 2530 247.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 2530 247, XL 171 817) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
