Notes
Metal Parts made by Longwear Plating. Recorded 28 June, 1965 at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. This is the 1st pressing "VAN GELDER" stamped and without Edition II in dead wax. By accident Bob Thiele put out the wrong take on the 2nd pressing. After he went through the initial press run, he switched the masters to the other take and inscribed edition II on the inside of the runout circle. So there are really two versions of ascension.
First catalogue number on labels, second on cover.
