Description
Up for auction is a beautiful original stereo copy of the 1963 Jazz classic LP "Ballads" by John Coltrane on Impulse Records #AS-32. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl rates a near mint with beautiful shine and just a hint of wear. The glossy gatefold jacket is in excellent condition with no splits or ring wear but does have a name written neatly in the top right and left corners of the inside gatefold. A beautiful copy of this hard to find record. DO NOT MISS OUT! Low starting bid and no reserve! Will be shipped in a sturdy record mailer with the record outside of the jacket within a protective plastic sleeve. Please see my other auctions for more rare vinyl.
Ballads is a jazz album by John Coltrane. It was recorded in December 1961 and 1962, and released on the Impulse! label in 1963 as A-32 (mono) and later AS-32 (stereo). Critic Gene Lees stated that the quartet had never played the tunes before. "They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs" and just before the recordings, they "would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they'd use, semi-rehearse for a half hour and then do it". Each piece was recorded in one take, except for "All or Nothing at All". In 2008, the album was a recipient of the Grammy Hall of Fame award.
