Those were the days...by the way...When reading the VSOP Story, i remembered an Ebay shop located in Paris, that featured a VSOP reissue. I quickly jumped to the site to check it out and buy it... it was sold. But when browsing the shop catalogue, there was an Original Helen Merrill on Emarcy (VG+, silver rim !) at 39 $. I quickly bought it, of course...Thank you JR Monterose !! Colombus was looking for India, and discovered America... interesting story !!

I have never seen an original pressing and now know why. The VSOP sounds amazing and I foolishly sold it to a friend for a few bucks profit thinking I could find another one easily. Over 2 years later I found a Japanese pressing of this reissue for $10 - score! Sounds awesome - one of my favorite quartet dates.
