Pressings
The music here predates the LP format, and the earliest pressing on file is the 1958 US Savoy, MG 12130, a mono issue with an RVG stamp. That is the one with any age in it. A 1964 UK Realm, RM 191, follows. Japan reissued it repeatedly from 1972 onward, and the 1985 Savoy MGJ-12130 came with a white obi; a 1991 Japanese pressing goes back to the MG 12130 number.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 35 pressings on file.
