Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1965 US Limelight LM 82001, mono in a gatefold; the stereo LS 86001 is the same year and also gatefold, so pick on channel preference and jacket condition. After that the field thins out to a 1980 Japanese 15PJ-25, an undated Japanese SMX-7003 gatefold, and a 2026 Verve remaster on 180 gram. No US reissue of any era appears in the data.
