When was Requiem first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1955, in Germany. One of them is His Master's Voice WCLP 1514.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use WCLP 1514) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2 XRA 161 and 2 XRA 162.
