A classic of the genre, 'Way Out West' was tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first album for west coast label Contemporary Records when released in 1957.

This edition, released as part of the Acoustic Sounds Series, features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP, and presented in a tip-on jacket.
