Contents

A total of five tracks were recorded and released by Asahi Sonorama and King Records in various formats and combinations at various times. The first track released, "Solveig's Song", was distributed in Japan as a "sonosheet" (a.k.a. "phonosheet" or Flexi disc) in the 1961 April issue of a monthly Asahi Sonorama music publication. The other four tracks were released a few days later in a special edition sonosheet "book" (Japanese Title: 黄色い長い道、秋吉敏子帰国記念特集 = Long Yellow Road, Toshiko Akiyoshi Homecoming Commemorative Special Edition). A standard LP album version containing all five tracks was released under the title Long Yellow Road (not to be confused with later Toshiko Akiyoshi quartet and big band recordings of the same title, Long Yellow Road). Another version, containing most of the same tracks from the same session, was also released in Japan under the title, Tosiko Akiyosi Recital. All five tracks from the original session as well as all six tracks from 1961's Toshiko Meets Her Old Pals were later combined on a single CD recording released in Japan by King Records as 1961 - Toshiko Akiyoshi, a History of King Jazz Recordings.
