Us stereo original with 47 West 63rd St. address on label. BST 84049. Has deep groove, ear and RVG plus the "R" under the E in Blue Note. Record in top shape and looks hardly played at all. However has one small dot in the vinyl probably from pressing at B1 where it clicks eight times. The laminated front cover looks lovely, tiny bump at the lower right corner. Beautiful copy that would pass as M-/M- at many places. Great Blue Note set from 1960 with the classic title track! Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons & Jymie Merritt join Art Blakey in a superb line-up.
