John Coltrane - Heavyweight Champion - Vinyl Box Set - Rare
The Complete Atlantic Recordings
The condition of this box set is excellent. I've had it a couple of years and I think I've only played one of the records (the Bags and Trane one). Very rare and collectable.
from Amazon.co.uk John Coltrane not only made his reputation once and for all during his brief 1959-61 stay at Atlantic Records, but he cut enough material to allow the label to continue releasing "new" albums until a year before his death in 1967. The Heavyweight ChampionMy Favorite Things, Giant Steps and Coltrane's Sound a wise choice, those committed enough to jump right in won't regret adding these seven CDs to their collections instead. Coltrane had kicked his multilayered quest into fifth gear by the time of his Atlantic debut, and to say he scorched plenty earth while under the wing of staff producer Nesuhi Ertegun is only the beginning of an ample description of his achievements there. Though he was to go even further at Impulse!, where he ended his career, the tracks here rate in the very small beyond-five-stars category. --Rickey Wright
collects those masters plus revealing alternate takes and false starts in a typically handsome Rhino box which also includes informative notes and great Lee Friedlander photos. While the sheer volume of music and emotion Coltrane and his cohorts throw at the listener might make purchases of individual discs such as Any questions let me know.
