Sonny Rollins - Newk's Time

Sonny Rollins 
Newk's Time 
Blue Note 4001 
This RE-ISSUE is a bit confusing in that the catalogue number (4001) indicates Mono (the stereo should be 84001), but it clearly states STEREO on the back of the jacket. Being as the session happened in 1957, it's questionable whether this is "true" stereo. From London Jazz Collector: "BLP 4001 was by all accounts also released in (true) Stereo by Blue Note, though not easily found. The Liberty however (Later stereo issue) is not pressed from any original Blue Note stereo plates, hence no RVG stamp, an impostor, re-mastered by Liberty engineers, one assumes from the original two track tape. "
So, in conclusion, we're not sure what you'll get. A pristine Mono version, or the rare true Stereo version. Our guess is the more common Mono. The re-issue company was confused / confusing. Great music whichever it is! 

Features; Wynton Kelly, Doug Watkins & Philly Joe Jones.
