The record
Quentin Warren's guitar and the drummer's brushwork stay tight in the pocket while the organ handles the preaching, cut in the opening days of 1960. Blues-soaked, easy in the tempo, no wasted motion.

Pressings
The earliest we list is the 1960 US mono, catalogued 4030, with deep groove, RVG stamp, 47 W 63rd address and Plastylite ear; the stereo 84030 from the same year carries the identical set, which is worth knowing before you pay a mono premium. 1962 brings repressings of both, some catalogued BLP 4030. Later stereo runs as BST 84030 -- the 1966 US copy still shows an RVG stamp, while the 1986 DMM cut is the one to pass on.
