When was Sweat first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1993, in Italy, UK, France, Netherlands and more. One of them is Time TIME 018.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use TIME 018, TIME 022, 74321 15460 1, 74321 15460 7) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, TIME 018-A and TIME 018 B.
