When was Requiem first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1968, in UK, US, Israel. One of them is His Master's Voice SAN 193.

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

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAN 193, S-36470) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 2YEA 3419-5G and 2YEA 3420-5G.
