Annotation

A Troubled History

This was originally pressed as a Prestige "trident" release, although the transition to New Jazz was done at 8204 - which suggests this one was out of order chronologically.

Then, the sides were swapped on the label, and a sticker with New Jazz as a label was slapped on the pressings before they went for sale.

Here is a promo copy of this, with the Prestige trident label and the mistaken side naming still exist

Here is a picture of the additional label covering the Prestige trident.
