Two from 1962

Alright, here we go..the first I'm not going to introduce, but it a solid album from the early 60s. The second, Janus, is much more confusing and deserves a quick note.
Janus has been released under multiple names. Moreover, the recent CD release of Janus only includes material from a 1970 recording session. The original release of Janus included material from 2 sessions, '62 and '70. The albums that are solely the '70 recording session are 'more complete' versions of that session than on the earlier albums.

Notes:
The CD edition by 1201 contains the B side of the vinyl plus two more tracks from the same session. Thus, besides the same title, one could say that it's a different recording.
