Only about a month ago, I payed big bucks for the Classic Records pressing.  I'll be waiting for the standard Fremer review :)

I have an original mono of this LP, an original stereo, and the Classic Records reissue, and they all sound different, but terrific. I also have the Impex release on gold CD, and it is also excellent. But the real gem is Belafonte's performance and voice on this incredible album; it's an amazing performance....strongly recommended.
