Gregory means the suffix-A
first: A-77
second: A-77-A (A-77-B)
ALS is the last number without any suffix.

the suffix -77 on the label indicates a second press.

Interesting that seller of “ALS” has 1 lp and all this camera stuff. And re first, how you know it’s not a first? Don’t think label should be marked Am-Par as were the very early number Impulses. To me, that was the label that was first. And then changed to the orange black design. Obviously there’s more to the story.
Anyway, I’m just curious as I always thought only one orange/black label, not a series of variations. In the overall scheme of matters It’s I guess Not really important as all my records are long gone and my “ALS’s” were all white label mono promos.

two weeks ago, Milano vinyl fair, there was an identical VG+/VG+ copy offered: € 1500,00. No further comment required except that A 77 A isn’t a first, as Mark stated.

Every early copy of A-77 I’ve owned or auditioned has had some level of annoying surface noise. At this point I’d rather have a 70s Japanese issue, just in terms of a quiet pressing.

The Coltrane is a slight second.
