Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1970 Prestige PRST 7758 in stereo, with an RVG stamp in the dead wax. Prestige recycled the title fast -- PR 7758 and both PR 10024 and PRST 10024 all turn up in 1971, the last of those also RVG-stamped, and they are the common copies. Original Jazz Classics has kept OJC-335 in print across 1988, 2006 and 2015 pressings.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 25 pressings on file.
