Notes
This version features the later red and black Impulse/ABC labels with separate boxes for each. Label rim text: "A Product of ABC Records, Inc. New York, N.Y. 10019 - Made in the USA".\ First catalog number on cover, second on center labels. Recorded 28 June, 1965 at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. This is the 2nd pressing with the 1st take of the piece. By accident Bob Thiele put out the wrong take. After he went through the initial press run, he switched the masters to the other take and inscribed edition II on the inside of the runout circle. So there are really two versions of ascension. Edition II solo order (Opening Ensemble) Coltrane solo (3:10–5:48) (Ensemble) Johnson solo (7:45–9:30) (Ensemble) Sanders solo (11:55–14:25) (Ensemble) Hubbard solo (15:40–17:40) (Ensemble) Tchicai solo (18:50–20:00) (Ensemble) Shepp solo (21:10–24:10) (Ensemble) Brown solo (25:10–27:16) (Ensemble) Tyner solo (29:55–33:26) Davis and Garrison duet (33:26–35:50) (Concluding Ensemble) Mastering credits from runout info.
