The record
A '64 date with Larry Young's modal organ work pushing Green's single-line guitar into leaner, more searching territory, Elvin Jones driving underneath with his signature rolling swing. Part of the brief, brilliant run that found Blue Note's organ combo format opening onto freer harmonic ground.
Session personnel
- Elvin Jones — drums

Pressings
Both 1965 US issues are on file, mono BLP 4183 with an RVG stamp and stereo BST 84183. The 1966 Liberty-era repress runs as 84183 and is also RVG-stamped. After that the file jumps straight to modern vinyl: Music Matters cut MMBST-84183 at 45 RPM in 2010, and the widely available European and Iberian 180 gram pressings from 2013 onward all carry ST-84183. Only eight pressings are listed, so the lineage here is thin.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 20 pressings on file.
