A Love Supreme (Mono)Mono edition

John Coltrane

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of John Coltrane's masterpiece, A Love Supreme is presented in its mono mix for the first time in over 50 years. Faithfully mastered from the original analog tapes by Ryan K. Smith, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI and housed in a tip-on gatefold jacket.

 

Widely regarded as one of the most transcendent works in recorded music, John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme stands as a spiritual and artistic milestone in the evolution of jazz and beyond.

 

Originally recorded over the course of a single evening on December 9, 1964, at Rudy Van Gelder’s legendary New Jersey studio, the album captures Coltrane at a moment of deep personal and musical transformation, channeling his renewed sense of purpose into a four-part suite that would shape the language of modern music for generations.

 

Backed by his classic quartet - McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums) - Coltrane weaves a meditative, impassioned journey across the suite’s four movements: “Acknowledgement,” “Resolution,” “Pursuance,” and “Psalm.” Anchored in modal improvisation and spiritual devotion, the album bridges the physical and metaphysical in a way that few recordings ever have. Released in February 1965 on Impulse! Records, A Love Supreme became not only Coltrane’s best-selling record in his lifetime, but also a cultural touchstone, revered by musicians across all genres.
