The record

A tight, brass-forward session from the group's early run, with Golson and Farmer's frontline chemistry backed by Cedar Walton's crisp comping and the Heath/Williams pulse -- hard bop with the polish of a working sextet.

Pressings

The earliest pressing on file here is the 1961 US Argo, LP 672, mono with a deep groove; a mono promo from the same year carries one too. Stereo came out alongside it as LPS-672. Nothing else appears until 1983, when Spain got Chess JS-075 and Japan a Baybridge pressing, UPS-2203-B. No audiophile reissue shows up in our data, so a clean 1961 Argo is what you are actually hunting.
