Long Yellow Road is a recording of the Toshiko Akiyoshi Trio made in Tokyo in February of 1961. A total of five tracks were recorded and released in various formats at various times. "Solveig's Song" was included as a "sonosheet" (a.k.a. "phonosheet" or Flexi disc) in the 1961 April issue of an Asahi Sonorama publication released in Japan on March 21st, 1961. The other four tracks were released by Asahi Sonorama as sonosheets in a special edition published a few days later. A standard LP album version was released by Asahi Sonorama under the title Long Yellow Road (not to be confused with the 1970 Toshiko Akiyoshi Quartet recording, Long Yellow Road or the 1975 Toshiko Akiyoshi – Lew Tabackin Big Band recording, Long Yellow Road). Another version, containing most of the same tracks from the same session, was also released in Japan under the title, Toshiko Akiyoshi Recital. All five tracks from the original session as well as all six tracks from 1961's Toshiko Meets Her Old Pals were later combined on a single CD recording released by King Records as 1961 - Toshiko Akiyoshi, a History of King Jazz Recordings.
