In 1989, the album was digitally remastered and released on CD with an extra alternate take of "Blue Pearl", and with the tracks listed in session chronological order. The version of the album included on the third disc of The Complete Blue Note and Roost Recordings, a 4 disc box set, is that from the first CD release in 1989.[5]
The album was digitally remastered in 2001 by Rudy Van Gelder and re-issued in January, 2002 as part of Blue Note's The RVG Edition series. The track listing was changed back to the original LP order, with the alternate take of "Blue Pearl" following.
Reception
Dom Cerulli of DownBeat recommended the album, noting, "Bud displays such artistry and such genuine genius, that it may well stand among the classic examples of his work in the years to come." He described "Bud on Bach" as "THE track in the set."[2]
