[** Note on this issue: during a period in the 1970’s Blue Note / United Artists pressed special runs of certain Blue Note titles, mostly 1500 series, for export to Japan. Obviously, before King or Toshiba got their own reissue programs up and running. A few hundred (or more) of these titles were diverted into the domestic market as “cut-outs” or manufacturer “overruns” – almost always a corner was clipped to prevent a product return from retailers.]
