Pressings
The earliest pressings we list are both from 1967 -- stereo BST 84256 and mono BLP 4256. Mono was on its way out at Blue Note by then, which is what makes the mono the harder find. An Italian BN 84256 and a US club edition date to the same year. Blue Note repressed BST-84256 in 1975 and issued it again in 2009 as BN 4256. The undated US stereo reissue is the row listing an RVG stamp.
