Pressings
We hold no original-era LP for this title. The earliest pressing on file is a 1982 US Applause reissue, APBL-2304, which at least carries an RVG stamp. After that it is Blue Note's own late runs -- French and US DMM cuts of BST 84254 in 1986, then remastered 180-gram BST 84254 pressings in 2014 for both the US and Europe. Buy on condition and cut, since rarity is not in play.
