The record
A 1966 Impulse! session balancing avant-garde fire with greasy R&B memory -- Shepp's thick-voiced horn writing at its most generous.

Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1967 US Impulse! mono, A-9134, a gatefold with the RVG stamp; the stereo, AS-9134, of the same year carries the stamp and gatefold too. The UK had its own pair, MIPL 508 mono and SIPL 508 stereo, the stereo in a laminated sleeve. From 1976 the number holds but the label becomes ABC Impulse!, so date a copy by the label, not the catalog. A 2009 180g gatefold, B0012611-01, is the current reissue.
