the original was green; a second green was issued too. Thereafter came the blue-tinted version. The one shown hereinabove is a second pressing. I tried to explain this before, but the clue is in the way Prestige is written top right. Connoisseurs will recognize the way Prestige Hi Fi is printed here as identical to albums in the 7070 range (I pulled out 7073, but Saxophone Colossus has it too). Also, the 2nd version has a broad spine with text printed. The first version has a thin spine without text and a characteristic Prestige name print, not repeated later.

as far as I know: Green = original; Blue = later pressing

I’m positive I’ve seen that Miles album with a blue tinted cover, while the one you use here is green… Does anyone know more about it? 😉

A favorite of mine for both “Sposin'” and “How Am I To Know?”,I once blew out several fuses on some Maggies by playing the former a bit TOO loud. Miles’ lyrical,heartfelt solo on “Sposin'” has his mute right up on the mic,and RVG captures it all. Each note makes the one after it seem so…conversational and inevitable. It is a beauty,but watch those speakers!
