Notes:

Label variant of [r5204236 which has the same jacket, no imaged labels. 
The Notes and Remastering credit on the jacket back are a finer type-font. 

Full, borderless, black&white photo front jacket pictured on London Jazz Collector as the first MG 12003 release jacket. There are three.
Other typical Savoy firsts besides monochrome front jacket are deep-groove pressing rings, blood red labels, and 58 Market Street, Newark, N.J. jacket address.
Both runouts are raised; implying their placement on the fathers or stampers rather than cut into the lacquers or mothers. This is a sign of repressing.
The raised rim edge is a clearer sign of repressing. 

The original release was issued in 1955, confirmed by BSN pubs. Both LJC and Frank Daniel's friktech.com confirm that the original issue of this LP is titled, Serenade to "Laura".  There is NO Vol. 1 or 2, until the 1960s.
This is a compilation of material from four of Savoy's 10" LPs, MG 15001-15004.
