John Coltrane – A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters – Vinyl 3LP Deluxe
Originally released in 1965, A Love Supreme changed music history, cementing the saxophonist’s reputation as one of the most groundbreaking musicians in music, and was subsequently ranked No. 47 in Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums Of All Time”.
Until now, the complete picture of what happened during the album’s recording session, held on December 9th 1964, has never been revealed.
The Complete Masters celebrates the 50th anniversary of the original album release, and finally collects all the previously unavailable outtakes, overdubs, and studio chatter from the session.
