John Coltrane Mono: vinyl & CD box sets

Mono recordings of John Coltrane albums recorded for Atlantic in the late ’50s and early 1960s are reissued for the first time in over 50 years on John Coltrane Mono, a 6LP vinyl box or six-CD set…

The vinyl box contains the following original studio albums: Giant Steps (1960), Bags & Trane (1961) with Milt Jackson, Ole Coltrane (1962), Coltrane Plays The Blues (1962), The Avant Garde (1966) with Don Cherry.

In addition to these John Coltrane Mono includes one LP of outtakes and a replica seven-inch single of My Favourite Things Part I & II. If you’re wondering why there isn’t a mono version of the My Favourite Things album it is because, sadly, a mono master no longer exists. There was a fire in the Atlantic Vaults in 1978. Warners have been in touch with SDE to confirm this.

The original mono recordings are fully remastered and this vinyl box is packaged in a cloth-bound box with the studio albums in glossy ‘tip-on’ LP sleeves, replicating the original artwork and labels.

Additionally, you get a 12” x 12”, 32-page booklet, with period photos by Lee Friedlander and liner notes by Grammy-winning jazz writer Ashley Kahn.

A six-CD version of John Coltrane Mono is also available. Both will be released on 10 June 2016.
