When Roland Kirk (pre-Rahsaan) issued Domino in 1962, the album contained 10 tracks, which amounted to just over half an hour of music. On this reissue there are 25 tracks and nearly 80 minutes of music. What's more, the 15 bonus tracks feature a 22-year-old Herbie Hancock, who did not appear on the original Domino at all.
