Another Japanese edition of the December 1964 suite, this one from the Impulse! SGD series. John Coltrane's central statement - the record every collection is built around sooner or later, whether the collector plans it or not. The chant, the psalm, the four-part journey from gratitude to transcendence: it remains the great argument that recorded jazz can be devotional literature. Collectors of Japanese Impulse! know these series pressings as reliable, quiet and honest. Compare editions, argue about mastering on the forums if you must, but the real answer is simple: keep every good copy that passes through your hands. This is one.
