Recorded at The Village Vanguard, NYC, November 2 and 3, 1961. Designed by [a=Robert Flynn (2)] for Viceroy.

Reissue. Black label with outer red ring: the bottom side [see images] of the label reads ”ABC RECORDS INC New York NY 10019″, which confirms it as a reissue of the first 1962 pressing released in 1968, as the time line in the appearance of addresses on the orange/black ring labels for Impulse is as follows:

1960-63: “A PRODUCT OF AM-PAR RECORD CORP.”
1963-66: “A PRODUCT OF ABC-PARAMOUNT RECORDS, INC.”
1967-68: ”ABC RECORDS INC New York NY 10019″

The metalwork for this album was made by [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/438055-Longwear-Plating]Longwear Plating[/url], as indicated by the “LW” abbreviation etched in the deadwax. It has been submitted as “Mastered At”, as there’s not yet an option for “Metalwork Made By”.

The metalwork was made from lacquers cut by [a=Rudy Van Gelder], as his “RVG STEREO” stamp can be seen in the deadwax as well.
