Note from Discogs : "this version lists the songs on the side 1 label from Gene Ammons – Boss Tenor instead of the correct songs for this release. However the runout information indicates that this version was pressed with the same plates as John Coltrane – Bahia and plays the correct songs for this release. The labels are the Prestige mono labels, but the runout includes VAN GELDER STEREO indicating that this is the stereo version"
