Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

John Coltrane :

John Coltrane was a visionary who changed the shape of jazz forever with his saxophone. A spiritual force and technical wizard, Coltrane brought intensity, soul, and profound emotion into every note he played. After making his mark with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, Coltrane carved out a revolutionary solo career, where he explored everything from hard bop to modal jazz to avant-garde transcendence. Known for masterworks like A Love Supreme and Giant Steps, Coltrane’s legacy is one of fearless innovation. But before those cosmic journeys, Coltrane Jazz showed the world that this artist could swing, burn, and groove like no other. This record captures the raw energy and rhythmic mastery of an artist on the brink of redefining modern music.

Coltrane Jazz :

Released in 1961, Coltrane Jazz is one of the essential early milestones in John Coltrane’s Atlantic Records era. Recorded primarily in 1959–60 with the classic Miles Davis rhythm section (Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb), this LP bridges the gap between Giant Steps and the spiritually focused work to come. It’s bluesy, bold, and packed with momentum—featuring the first recording of the modal masterpiece “Village Blues” with Coltrane’s future quartet member Elvin Jones on drums. Critically praised for its balance of accessibility and innovation, Coltrane Jazz is where Trane fans hear the seeds of his mature voice—stretching beyond bebop into new harmonic territory. A staple in jazz collections and a favorite among audiophiles for its crisp Atlantic stereo production, this pressing is a must-have for serious collectors.
