Your oldest copy of a vinyl release?

Incredible String band: 5000 spirits or the layers of an Onion (1967) and Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (1968) both Mono, red Elektra label. 

I think my copy of MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN was the one LP that took the cake ... I might have others, and I think Sgt Pepper's was one, I finally dumped a few years back (the American version because it was a horrible copy of the original with some effects muddied and downplayed) ... as I had gotten the IMPORT of the Sgt Pepper's way back in 1974, which is when I found the incredible difference between the American and English albums ... and guess what ... the same thing happened for Dark Side of the Moon ... which I bought the import within a year (posters were different too!!!) and got rid of the American album ...

So, this made sense for American listeners to get the remastered PF albums, up to DSOTM ...  I never checked the next album, but THE WALL seems to have been released properly in both countries. I think after the attention Allan Parsons got, that some folks did not want to be accused of being jerks ... what happened to those albums earlier was a travesty and those folks should have gone to jail!

As for vinyl, I have some old classical records from the late 50's to about mid 60's. I think one of the oldest ones is a 1958 copy of Brahms 'Violin Concerto in D Major', but I have to look through them all again. I also have a worn Norwegian 1965 copy of Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' and an equally beat up early UK 1967 'Sgt. Pepper', but also a decent copy of Little Boy Blues' 'In the Woodland of Weir' (1968). For prog, an US original Soft Machine 'Volume 2' (1969) is my overall oldest 

Any other vinylphiles around here to tell about your oldest copy of a vinyl release? 

But when I still had it, the oldest album I had was Pilgrimage by Wishbone Ash (1971).

I've got plenty of older shellac, but as for oldest vinyl (all 10"s) that I know of while sitting here:

Sidney Bechet, Claude Luter Vol. 1, 1951 (Vogue, France)

...ten more:

Kathleen Ferrier - Alto Rhapsodie /Four Songs (Brahms), 1953 (Decca, UK)

Kathleen Ferrier - A Recital of Bach Arias, 1954 (Decca, UK)

Yma Sumac - Voice of the Xtabay / Inca Taqui, 1954 (Capitol, US)

Eartha Kitt - That Bad Eartha, 1954, (RCA Victor, US)

The Modern Jazz Quartet - Modern Jazz Quartet, 1955 (Prestige, US)

Duke Ellington - "The Duke", 1955 (Coral Germany)

Eartha Kitt - Down to Eartha, 1955 (RCA, US... I think... don't have it here)

Lionel Hampton – Lionel Hampton - Vol. 1, 1955 (RCA, France)

The Ahmad Jamal Trio - The Ahmad Jamal Trio, 1956 (Epic, US)

Erroll Garner - Concert by the Sea, 1956 (Columbia, US)

To my knowledge none of these are particularly valuable. I just bought them (cheap) because I like the music. But I've got some undated 1950's classical Telefunken etc... releases that people buy for over 200$. If one has an eye for rare and unique classical releases/labels - that's where you can still stumble over treasures basically for free.
