There are not enough words about this pressing.
So lively...
Coltrane is in your living room.. -
I believe I have a variant of this one with a misprint on the a side label. Does this pressing have the 60hz hum? -

This pressing incredibly convey's an illusion of presence that I've experienced only a few times. John Coltrane sounds 8ft tall without any exaggeration. Elvin Jones is so close .. so close in front of me wielding thunder and lighting in hand along with McCoy's delicate touch that is close to painful in anticipation of the next note...pretty sure I can hear Jimmy Garrison's breath during his solo..
...I have never heard 'A Love Supreme' like this. I had that distinct feeling of angst and nervousness and pang of guilt as my eyes were closed that I was in a space I should not be and that..I snuck into to eavesdrop. This is an example album that can make you consider investing in or upgrading finally to that better performing cartridge, speaker or amp etc. as it deserves it. Highly, highly recommend. -
The first true stereo pressing of the monolithic album. Prior versions were hard left/right stereo; not bad, but not as good as this one. This is an audiophile collectors item due to the orange/black ring label and the Van Gelder mastering. Additionally, the metalwork at Longwear Plating company is fantastic. Go for the original mono pressing, but for stereo this pressing is the go to. Essentially a great pressing with great sound. Recommended.
