Pressings
The earliest on file is the 1966 US Blue Note mono, BLP 4238; the 1966 stereo BST 84238 carries a Plastylite ear, which is the marker worth checking on this one. Liberty-era 1968 repressings of both numbers follow, plus an odd BNST 84238 stereo with an RVG stamp, and a 1970 stereo repress. No Japanese or audiophile reissue is on file, so the field runs 1966 to 1970 US copies.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 23 pressings on file.
