I have a version that I cannot find in the list of releases. It's a BLP1581, rather recent from the looks. The label is the 1958-9 version with 47 West 63rd on both sides. What distinguishes it from all versions I've found on discogs is the line of text on the back cover at the bottom underneath the three photographs. It reads: "COURTESY BLUE NOTE RECORDS, A DIVISION OF CAPITOL RECORDS, INC., UNDER LICENSE FROM EMI-CAPITOL MUSIC SPECIAL MARKETS.
Can anyone help? -
on "softly as in a morning sunrise" those strange noises in the background is Elvin grunting, right?

this comment is related to the 1999 Rudy Van Gelder CD-edition: this edition which could be barely related to the master
recording engineer R.V.G. as it sounds unbelievably lousy in any regard, a completely cloudy, metallic nothing - compared
it to the vinyl, second press with the New York label in mono and all praise goes to the vinyl edition, the sound on any vinyl
edition including the late 60´s black/blue Liberty label is far superior to the later 20 bit/24bit-Cd-crap.
i own a good number of Blue Note CD´s from 1987 which sound absolutely ok compared to the later shit.
So stay away from that gun !! Don´t know, if Van Gelder turned dumb but i seriously doubt, that he had his
ears on this mess. Same thing with New´s Time and a lot of other RVG-editions, just forget them.
