A reissue and a true copy of the rare EP from France in 1958, London RE-U-10.004 (page 298). It’s been popular now to reissue original LPs as we have got many from the old US Chess catalog. It’s interesting to notice that they also have done it in France with this EP. Because to find a copy of this London EP today is as difficult as to search for a needle in the haystack, and the price will be skyhigh, we’re talking at least 1000,- Euro or up.

Here's the cover and label of the original EP so you don't confuse the two.
