Things Are Getting Better

~ Release by Cannonball Adderley feat. Milt Jackson (see all versions of this release, 17 available)

Annotation

Notes

This is the common Japanese edition, featuring the two additional takes that were introduced with the 90s' OJC reissue, though they are stacked at the end of the disc (instead of just after each original take), thus possibly being more attractive to these who want a "cleaner" separation between what was on the original and the bonuses.
Note that both VICJ-41749 and VICJ-60477 are mini-LP replica (and so possibly are the other Victor reprints as well, while the Universal late issues possibly are not). VICJ-60477 uses 20bits K2 mastering and is part of the Heritage of Jazz II serie.
Note there also exist a Uni reprint of the OJC edition (UCCO-9069) nowadays...
