Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1961 US Prestige Swingville, SVLP 2016, mono with a deep groove. A 1965 blue-label reissue follows on the same number, and from 1969 the album runs on Prestige PR 7671 instead. For a modern copy, Analogue Productions cut SV-2016 as a 45 RPM, 180 gram edition in 2003 -- that is the audiophile option -- while OJC-420 from 2016 is the cheap and honest one.
