Description

John Coltrane: Crescent 45 RPM 2LP set, released by audiophile label Original Recordings Group in 2009. Originally released in 1964 by Impulse! as A-66.
Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tapes. Pressed at The Pallas Group in Germany on 180 gram vinyl. High quality, heavyweight film-laminated gatefold jacket.
Out of print and very rare. Open but never played.
Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the April 2010 Issue of Stereophile! 
"Crescent, from 1964, is like much of John Coltrane's best work. It's not about melody, rhythm or other immediately understood elements, but rather where the musicians, including McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass and Elvin Jones on drums, take each number through their tight and inventive interaction... Crescent is far more panoramic, the soundstage spreading unbroken and the musicians sounding vivid. The exceptionally thick, heavy gatefold sleeves bespeak quality... and prove that Original Recordings Group is setting a very hard pace in terms of sonic, pressing and packaging quality." - Marc Mickelson, www.theaudiobeat.com, 4/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sound!
