Pressings
The earliest we list is the 1957 US mono Blue Note 1554. The markers cluster on the 1962 mono repress of that number -- deep groove, RVG stamp, 47 W 63rd address and a laminated sleeve -- so a mono copy carrying that address is what most buyers are hunting. Stereo runs as BST 1554 from 1959 and BST 81554 from 1966. The 2018 European Go! Bop! GB013LP is a separate proposition.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 28 pressings on file.
