John Coltrane Blue Train vinyl identifier

[tubemusic]

According to discogs,
http://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-Blue-Train/master/32208

Blue Train was issued in 1957 then 1959. But it looks like both albums labels, cover and dead wax Matrix / Runout's have the same info. How can I tell if I have a pressing from 1957 or 1959 or later for that matter. Thanks

For Blue Note records it's all about the label on the record when it comes to dating a pressing. For Blue Train which was released in 1957 a true first pressings will have the Blue Note Records 47 west 63rd New York 23 label on both sides, these from what I have seen are extremely rare. Here is the label cheat sheet for dating pressings. I have a VG++ copy with the Blue Note Records Inc. 47 West 63rd label which would be a third pressing I guess.

Mc_Man -
Thanks for the Blue Note link. It will be interesting to check through all the Blue Note remainders I picked up in the 60's/early 70's to see where they fit in the timeline. I had seen different valuations in old discographies, but the pictures really help in placing the different pressings.
