This is a UK Mono 1st pressing LP. This LP was originally released in the USA in 1964. It did not get a UK release until 1966. It has a heavyweight front laminated sleeve & comes with its original generic polythene lined company plain paper inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has textured red & maroon "Atlantic" labels. The record has 1st press 587039 A-1 and 587039 B-1 matrix numbers.

These recordings are from October 1960. Although released after Coltrane had left Atlantic Records for "Impulse Records", and without his approval in 1964. This LP is now a highly regarded LP by him. It is an excellent Hard Bop/ Modern Jazz LP. I have some other rare & collectable 1960's, early 1970's UK & USA Jazz LP's for sale too. This includes several other John Coltrane LP's. So please see my other listings.
