The track duration does not appear on the release.

This pressing has no ® on the label, HOWEVER, Inc. IS present on the back cover.

Possibly a very early (1957, perhaps 1958) 2nd MONO issue has:
- blue/white deep groove Blue Note Records - Blue Note Records - 47 West 63rd - NYC on BOTH sides
- RVG stamped in the dead wax, both sides,
- "P" (otherwise wrongly called "ear") for Plastylite etched in the trail off, both sides,
- laminated jacket,
- 47 West 63rd St., New York 23 address on back cover WITH Inc.

Jacket color matches early non-first pressings. Curtis Fuller's face (side of forehead) suffers from a photo defect.
