Ascension

Two different takes of Ascension were recorded.
The second take was used for the initial release, but upon Coltrane insistence, the pressings were withdrawn, and replaced by new pressings using the first take, the only visible difference being some etching in the outgroove.
This modern cd edition features both takes, labeled respectively "Edition I" (the first pressing, using the second take), and "Edition II" (the repressings, using the first take).

The late UCCI japanese reprint is a vinyl facsimile.
There seem to exist another editions of this, possibly impulse! GRD2-113 (CD) (<- not too sure of the format of this (2 discs), though it appears to be containing both editions).
