Description

This is a rare early MONO pressing of the excellent CRESCENT LP by JOHN COLTRANE QUARTET on Impulse! Records (A-66, Mono) from 1964.  An absolutely essential jazz record from this legendary artist.  The vinyl is in VG- condition with lots of light marks and wear and some audible surface noise (light crackle); not for the most demanding audiophiles, but a perfectly enjoyable copy without skips or other anomalies that sounds better than it looks thanks to a quality 1960's pressing.  The sturdy cardboard gatefold cover is in VG+ condition with a few minor scuffs, as pictured.  Don't pass up a rare gem like this!
