This speed issue affected the album's first three tracks, \"So What,\" \"Freddie Freeloader\" and \"Blue in Green,\" making them a barely perceptible quarter-tone sharp. Before now, it was only addressed in 1995 for the Classic Records edition and by Columbia Records — or their latter-day parent, Sony Music — on a CD reissue in the late '90s. This edition also contains on Side 4 \"Flamenco Sketches (alternate take)\" cut at 45 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLegends have a way of sticking around.
