Subsequent pressings were black. Also, the original cover (as pictured above) was a hell of a lot better looking than the reissues which pictured multiple hands underneath the title Exotic Percussion. Crown Records was notorious for repackaging the same album multiple times!!! The original pressing usual didn't sound to bad except for some excessive hiss!! Damn cheap vinyl!!! This one screams to be digitally remastered. :) Lots of incredible West Coast musicians on this one including Dominic Frontiere. Anyone know who owns the rights to Crown Records? Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff
