Notes

Recorded 28 June, 1965 at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, N.J.
By accident Bob Thiele put out the wrong take. After he went through the initial press run, he switched the masters to the other take and inscribed edition II on the inside of the runout circle. So there are really two versions of Ascension.
This is the 1st mono pressing with the Edition II take of the piece and has "A Product Of ABC Paramount Records Inc./Printed In U.S.A." below titles on labels.
