List for the std black is $33 although you can likely find the black a few $$$ off list. Looks to be a high quality release. Here is the blurb off the MD site:

“ Long Out of Print Vinyl LP Reissue Mastered from the Original Analog Tapes by Blue Note Expert Kevin Gray!

As the most prolific guitarist on Blue Note's roster, Grant Green was very busy during 1960-65, appearing in all types of settings with his fellow all-stars. His single-note lines had the power of a saxophonist, he displayed his own brand of soul, and he was so versatile that he was a perfect fit with soulful organ combos, post bop groups and all-star straight-ahead bands. Recorded in 1961 and released in 1962, Sunday Mornin' marked Green's first release as a leader with piano accompaniment (Kenny Drew) instead of organ. The relaxed modal hard bop affair features a trio of elegant Green originals plus further tasteful backing from Ben Tucker (bass) and Ben Dixon (drums). This authentic analog audiophile release serves as the album's first reissue in nearly 50 years! Commenting on the playback of the analog tapes used to cut this release, mastering engineer Kevin Gray said, "Rudy's sound doesn't get any better than this, it really doesn't." He would know, Gray has cut more Blue Note lacquers than anybody in the world”

I have all these albums, but I'm tempted. I truly regret not buying the first box and have been hunting for it ever since.

The first box was really well done, and there’s plenty bonus material - the fifth LP is a previously unreleased double live set and amongst other things on the CDs are a good number of demos for an album that they ultimately split instead of making.

I think I'm gonna go for it. If only I could find the first box for a reasonable price!
