Just when I thought Impulse! would decide not to re-issue all of John Coltrane's output for the much-heralded label, I was so wrong. And I'm sure a lot of folks were thinking the same as well.
Recently, Impulse! decided to woo us into buying classic albums in one of the best ways possible: original album art, liner notes, you name it...all at an affordable price too!! (This means you don't have to shell out almost $20 for another awesome Trane CD again...hahah.) But if you stop to think about it, these latest reissues are a good call:
If anyone owned a John Coltrane album (on the Impulse! label, no less!!) back in the day, the feeling of seeing that orange & black bifold cover, the liner notes written like so...this latest batch of reissues should bring back lots of beautiful memories indeed.
They sure did for me. Not only that, the sound is majorly amazing. I felt that the John Coltrane reissues released back in the mid-90s were not bad at all but these new remasters knock the mid-90s releases out of the water...the sound positively jumps out at you; it's that stellar. This may be my own personal opinion but these latest Impulse old-school re-re-releases are kind of a big deal, given that they deliver the goods in spades: great sound, great cover art/liner note reproduction. And if you're a hardcore fan of John Coltrane or any other artist who recorded for the almighty label called Impulse!, you shouldn't pass up this opportunity to buy these latest reissues. (I meant that too BTW!!)
