Description

This is a very nice 33.3 RPM 180g stereo copy of John Coltrane’s recording Blue Train as issued by Music Matters (catalogue number MMBLP-1577) featuring Lee Morgan, trumpet; Curtis Fuller, trombone; John Coltrane, tenor sax; Kenny Drew, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; and “Philly” Joe Jones, drums. All aspects of these Music Matters recordings are really first rate. These are some of the finest quality reissues that I have experienced.  This copy was pressed in the USA. The original recording was released in 1957.


The record is in near mint condition with no scuffs or scratches. The heavy gate fold jacket is in near mint condition with no seam splits or bends. The inside cover contains B&W photos of the performers taken by Francis Wolff.   I bought this copy new when it was released as a subscription from Elusive Disk.


The record was been cleaned with Audio Intelligent fluids on a VPI cleaner followed by a second cleaning with an Audio Desk Ultra sonic cleaner.  More recently the records were recleaned with the latest version of the Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner.  It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag. I have only played the record a few times since I originally purchased it.


The record was recently play graded using a Benz Micro LPS cartridge on a VPI Classic 4 turntable. The record plays very quietly with only a few light ticks over both sides. 

 

The recording is from my personal collection which I am in the process of reducing.  Look for additional listings to come as I get time to re-listen and grade them.   The records will be carefully packed in bubble wrap with the records removed from the jacket to prevent seam splits. Multiple LPs can be combined in a shipment to save shipping costs.
