Cover has some minor shelf wear, disc shows the faintest evidence of play with the rare light scuff that can’t be felt.

Notes:

This is for the Hauppauge Manufacturing Pressing of the VE-2-2503 catalog as derived from the deadwax etchings on all sides and the “53” label identifier.

Side A to C have Trutone Mastering – Phil Austin remastering credits as derived from the encircled “TR” etch followed by the initials “pa” and the date “3•83”. Side D contains original Trutone Mastering credits. This reissue pressing was, therefore, likely released after March of 1983.

Tracks A1 to B2 Recorded in Los Angeles, March 26, 1952.
Tracks B3 to C3 Recorded in Los Angeles, April 1952.
Tracks C4 to D3 Recorded in New York City, July 27, 1952.
