Pressings
The earliest on file is the 1967 US Blue Note mono, BLP 4257, RVG-stamped; the stereo BST 84257 is listed the same year and also carries an RVG stamp, with a Keel-pressed mono alongside. One mono copy is noted as having no Van Gelder stamp, so read the dead wax before you pay. Blue Note's 2025 Tone Poet edition of BST 84257 is the modern reissue worth having.
