ESP 1022 Marion Brown Quartet

180 Riverside Drive, NY NY 10024
MONO
Recorded November 1965 in New York City.

On later reissues the track "Exhibition" was replaced by "Mephistopheles" (comp. Alan Shorter) recorded at the same session with Alan Shorter but without Bennie Maupin. The covers of most of these reissues use the original track listing with "Exhibition" and include Bennie Maupin in the personnel, which caused some confusion among discographers.

180 Riverside address on label and back cover.

Plastylite P (Ear) is present in the run-out groove on the true first stereo pressing of this LP.
Early pressings also have photo on 1 side of label. Later pressings use black and white texted labels on both sides.
Second stereo pressing has same Riverside address cover, but without ear.

This is the repress with the 156 5th Ave address on the center labels and the 180 Riverside Drive address on the back cover, where the label was located between 1966 and 1969. Most probably the 2nd press. Some copies may include a "Stereo" sticker on the cover.

This pressing still includes the track "Exhibition". On later reissues the track was replaced by "Mephistopheles" (comp. Alan Shorter) recorded at the same session with Alan Shorter but without Bennie Maupin. The covers of most of these reissues use the original track listing with "Exhibition" and include Bennie Maupin in the personnel, which caused some confusion among discographers.
