Featuring his signature soprano sax and delving deeply into his blues sensibilities, this new mono version breakout LP will follow the forthcoming Rhino High-Fidelity box set entitled 'John Coltrane: 1960-1964' where all lacquers are AAA cut directly from the mono tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram vinyl by Optimal, with meticulous detailing on the album packaging that includes glossy covers and "tip-on" jackets.
