Candid CJM8027/9027, "Out Front", with above. I had previously stated: "Also reissued on Candid 30009, with alternate take of Strength and Sanity." I don't know where I got that information, which doesn't seem to be correct as far as I can tell. Instead, I only see Reichardt's listing of this alternate on Candid (J) 32JDC-106, a CD titled Out Front + 1, with a timing given of 5:59. CD reissue is Candid 79027. There is an alternate take of Hazy Hues on CCD 79033. Moods in Free Time also appears on 79033. Other releases include (F)CANF6002, (J)SOPC-57004, (J)SMJ-6170, BR5019, New World Records NW275 (a compilation called Introspection that has We Speak and Strength and Sanity).

This is Booker. It couldn't be better, but I guess Eric could play more. But no complaints.

This version of the alternate Strength and Sanity is incomplete.
