Pressings
The earliest on file is a 1967 US stereo BST 84273, a Keel pressing with an RVG stamp. Mono exists on BLP 4273 from the same year, though the copy we list is a promo. A 1970 BST 84273 also carries the RVG stamp and is the sensible way in. After that it is 1985 remasters from France, the US and Japan, where the number is BNJ 71094, then Blue Note reissues in 2010 and 2017.
