Masters appear courtesy of Blue Note Records, a division of Capitol Records, Inc . Producer's note: Because much of the material used in this set consists of single sessions that p roduced entire LPs, we've decided, where possible, to retain the original album sequence within a session rather than present it in recorded order of performanc e. The studios sessions are presented in chronological order, followed by the li ve Lighthouse session, which occupies the two final discs. For the sake of repeated listenability, the already lengthy Discs Seven and Eigh t do not include the stage announcements or the audience singing "Happy Birthday " to Elvin Jones, which appeared on the original double LP issue. The out-of-pha se sound on the drums on "Simone" (Disc Four, track three) is on the only surviv ing tape of this performance. The peak clipping of the bass drum at two points o n "For All The Other Times" (Disc Four, track five) is in the original recording.
