Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1957 US Prestige mono, LP 7074, carrying a deep groove and the RVG stamp -- that is the copy to chase. A UK Esquire mono, 32-059, ran alongside it the same year. Prestige renumbered the title to PRST 7249 for its 1962 reissues, and Original Jazz Classics picked it up as OJC-127 in 1984. For a modern cut, Analogue Productions issued a 180g mono, APRJ 7074, in 2023.
