Pressings
The earliest copies we list are all 1972 US Blue Note stereo pressings of BST-84382, and they differ in the details: one is noted as a Terre Haute pressing, another as a Liberty label, both carrying an RVG stamp. A German BST 84 382 K is the same year. Blue Note repressed it in 1973 and again in 1995; an undated US Scorpio pressing also circulates.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 16 pressings on file.
