Good question. My guess is that this would have originally been issued in the UK on Fontana (an imprint of Philips), as UK CBS didn't start operating until around 1965/66. Certainly, this is the case with 'Miles Ahead' and 'Porgy and Bess'.

That's right - Fontana. I've got an illustration on the inner sleeve of something else. Not clear, however, whether this would have been a French issue. 2 catalogue numbers quoted - 682 059 TL and 885 113 TY. May be mono & stereo versions; may be from different European countries.

I had one of these from the off. Definitely Fontana, black and silver label and thick board jacket. Sleeve note by Benny Green if memory serves.
