Some words on this issue: COLTRANE, JOHN: “Live At Birdland” (Impulse – IMP-88078) (Record: Excellent/ Gatefold Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Original Japan 1st pressing all complete with first issue obi. Arguably John Coltrane’s finest all-around album, this recording has brilliant versions of "Afro Blue" and "I Want to Talk About You"; the second half of the latter features Coltrane on unaccompanied tenor tearing into the piece but never losing sight of the fact that it is a beautiful ballad. The remainder of this album ("Alabama," "The Promise," and "Your Lady") is almost at the same high level.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
