maartenkools, there was more than one Japanese pressings of this title, not all were blue bottom. The most expensive copy I found on Popsike did indeed have the blue bottom though: http://www.popsike.com/CLIFFORD-BROWN-ON-BLUE-NOTE-1526-ORIGINAL-LEXINGTON-M/150451070111.html

Fred on BLP 1526:”These inconsistencies may be attributable to the difficulty in matching ink tones from printing to printing,or to the availability of a specific ink from the same supplier,or to any number of creative decisions by the art or sales departments.” pg.106
He does confirm the white background as the second cover issued. So,it looks like a first press lp w/ a later (white)cover…

i would say blue too, not that i have one, but the japanese pressing is blue, and they always use the original cover.
Strange, on popsike the most expensive one is the “white” one…

The Clifford Brown Lp with the blue bottom is the first pressing, the white came later.
