My copy has a label misprint on the lower portion of side one. Instead of reading as "Composed by: John Coltrane", it's printed as
"Comp osed by: John Coltrane". Does anyone else out there have one of these misprinted LPs as well? -
My late Grandfather’s original album from 1967 is priceless. The thick 180 gram Impulse pressing sounds awesome with minimal surface noise. Soundstage is so crisp and the audio separation perfect. The original thick gatefold is off the charts as well with liner notes and photography. -
My copy only has different matrix / runout:
Side 1: Catalog# system font + LW (no VAN GELDER)
Side 2: Catalog# hand edged + VAN GELDER + LW
-
