The record
The title track stretches past fifteen minutes, Henderson and Hutcherson trading patient, glowing phrases over Pearson's cushioned chords in one of Blue Note's rare unrushed grooves. Guitar lines here sound as relaxed and eloquent as they'd ever get.

Pressings
Mono and stereo are both 1965 here -- Blue Note BLP 4154 in mono and BST 84154 in stereo, each with an RVG stamp and a Plastylite ear, the stereo flagged as earliest on file. Nothing on file predates 1965. The 1966 repressings of 4154, mono and stereo, still list the ear plus a laminated sleeve. For modern copies, Analogue Productions cut AP-84154 at 45 RPM (2009) and Music Matters did MMBST-84154 in gatefold on 180 gram (2014).
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 65 pressings on file.
