Pressings
The copy that carries the money is the 1962 US mono, Blue Note BLP 4080, with 47 W 63rd labels, an RVG stamp and a Plastylite ear. The 1962 stereo, BST-84080, is the earliest on file here and is listed with NY labels and no deep groove. 1966 mono repressings still show the ear. Newer: Analogue Productions cut AP-84080 at 45 RPM in 2010, Music Matters pressed a 180 gram gatefold in 2015, and Blue Note's 2024 5832034 is a Kevin Gray remaster.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 66 pressings on file.
