He led at least fifty recording sessions and appeared on many albums by other musicians, including trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk. Over the course of his career, Coltrane's music took on an increasingly spiritual dimension. He remains one. John Coltrane. For general inquiries or licensing requests, please contact: Michael B.

The printed inner in the picture displays “a love supreme” which came out a year later. So this can not be an original 1964 release. My copy has the same labels and the same inner sleeve so the inner hasn’t probably just been mixed up.

Ffleg

I noticed on this recording, especially on headphones; When they mixed the stereo version Coltrane's sax is panned mostly LEFT. This was not uncommon as they were trying to recreate the actual 'soundstage'. However when his mic is open the drum bleed into that mic give the drums a more natural sound. When he is not soloing at times the mixing engineer mutes the sax mic, which creates a sudden change in sound of the drums. I found it slightly distracting. But once I realized it was not my system and it was recorded that way it wasn't so bad. Probably less distracting when listening over speakers rather than headphones. A quaint reminder of recording styles for Jazz from that era.

Yozshubei

From what i've found online, those mutes may be tape dropouts, apparently only present on the stereo. I purchased an original Mono a month ago and don't hear any of it on this version.

Discogs will be complete when each edition accurately lists the actual duration of Alabama on the individual pressing, 2:23 or 5:05.

Submit the edits if you have accurate info, no sense in waiting.

A red label mono Sparton (made in Canada) also exists .

Inabel

Have not received this yet...All other records from other sellers have arrived. Did you ship it?

Zadora

Why is it listed as AS-50 while the cover says A-50?

Sharpmane

Mine doesn't have a sticker. A-50 is on the spine and in the circle on front cover. It also has Van Gelder in dead wax along with STEREO.

Togar

I think the Stereo in the "Stereo - A-50" sticker references the missing S. The label gives AS-50 so I would argue that the cover was used for both Mono and Stereo releases, with a sticker thrown on the Stereo ones.

Cordabor

A bit of a misnomer as only the first three tracks are live. This is decent stuff from the classic quintet; Coltrane stretches out without losing the listener. The bonus track “Vilia” on the CD is good quality with Tyner shining.

Xal

also exists in "Made in France" and "Made in Germany" versions.Have one version where "STEREO" stickers are put on "MONO", says both A-50 and AS-50 and the label.
