Release notes

This edition has deep groove label on side 1. New York USA Labels, Van Gelder, Ear. Should come with a 26 Year Blue Note inner sleeve.

Recorded on March 17, 1965.

Variants pressed by Plastylite with Ear/P and van gelder in trail-off exist without deep groove, or deep groove on one side only. It is believed that both variants were pressed around the same time in 1965 before Blue Note was acquired by Liberty. No copies with double sided deep groove are know to exist. No liberty pressings are with deep groove.

Variants without the Ear/P in the trail-off were pressed by Liberty after they moved record pressing to their own plants (late 1965 to early 1966). These are considered by collectors to be 2nd pressings.
