Add the following new note to Track/Issue Notes
*3  Blue Note did not assign master numbers to the various tracks recorded at sessions in the 1950's.  Its practice was to number each take at the session in sequence, as is shown above.  For example, the session card for this session originally identified 57-0915c-m "Blue Train" as "Take 9".  However, in conjunction with various reissue projects during the 1980's, the following master numbers were assigned to tracks from this session:

a-3. take-3 Lazy Bird 22990
b-3. take-6 Moment’s Notice 22987
c-m. take-9 Blue Train 4324
d-2. take-11 Locomotion 22988
e. take-12 I’m Old Fashioned 22989
The session card indicates that the Blue Train album was released November 22, 1957.  The difference between the four-digit number assigned to "Blue Train" and the five-digit numbers assigned sequentially to the other four tracks suggests that "Blue Train" received a master number as part of an earlier project, although this cannot be confirmed.

Tim Nunnally offers the following information about the original issues of this session:
  It seems well established among collectors that the very first pressings of 1577 had a distinction on the label in that the “47 West 63rd” address for Blue Note Records appears on the label instead of merely listing NYC as the address. This distinction is noted in Jerry Osborne’s book “Official Prices guide to records”, 18th Ed, and shows a substantial price difference between the two labels. Indeed, eBay auctions drive the “47 West 63rd” versions typically to the $1000 range. (I’ve also noted some eBayers listing the fact that there is no registry R under the E of “Blue NotE” on the label – but I cannot tell if this is a feature of all “47 West 63rd” versions, or a subset of those). I realize the “47 West 63rd” labels do not represent a separate issue of Blue Train, but this distinction is clearly very important to collectors, so my question is why The Reference does not include a note on this label variation.

We appreciate the valuable information which Tim has provided here. As to the question of why such information is not included in The Reference , the answer is simply that this level of detail is beyond the scope of the work. We have addressed Coltrane's music from a discographical and chronological point of view. While we've listed all known issues, and have attempted to identify the initial issue and approximate date of issue, we simply could not catalogue the different labels and their importance, or other specifics of how the music was issued. We will of course happily include such information here online, where space and deadline considerations are much less rigid.
