Pressings
This one is a 10-inch compilation, and no 12-inch LP appears on file. The earliest we list is the 1954 US Prestige PRLP-161 in mono with the first cover; a 1955 reissue keeps the same number, and an undated Japanese LP 161 follows. Prestige cut a Record Store Day 10-inch in 2011, PRS-33353-01, on dark clear blue vinyl -- that and the DOL751 reissue are the modern options.
