Waltz for Debby

Riverside/Victor SMJ-6118, Japan, 1975 Victor's 1975 stereo reissue of the Bill Evans Trio's June 1961 Village Vanguard set is an affordable way into Japanese jazz pressings. It was made in Japan by Victor Musical Industries from Milestone's master recording and comes with an orange obi and a one-sided Japanese insert, at a list price of ¥2,200. It is a reissue, not an original Riverside, so buy it as a well-made copy to play rather than as an investment, and check that both the obi and the insert are there.
