Notes

First pressing on "two-eye" Columbia labels with both Wayne Shorter and (incorrect) Miles Davis credit for Santuary. Later 2-eye pressings correctly credit only Shorter for Sanctuary. This version pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman, as indicated by the 'P' in the runouts.

Early pressings (with and without Miles credit on Sanctuary) can be differentiated from catalog number (some later issues have PG series numbers).

      Sounds pretty darn good! Title track is of course exceptional. Deep bass. Snares which slap you across the face each time. What else could you want?
