John Coltrane Ballads on UHQR 200g 45RPM Clarity Vinyl 2LP from Analogue Productions: Mastered Directly from the Original Master Tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and Pressed at Quality Record Pressings
Audiophile reviews rave about saxophone master John Coltrane's immortal Impulse! records, A Love Supreme (1964) and Ballads (1963). Ballads is an album that will never go out of style and never be unwelcome on any jazz lover's turntable.
The intense passionate Coltrane interpretation of standards such as "All Or Nothing At All," "What's New," "It's Easy To Remember" and the Sinatra classic "Nancy (With The Laughing Face)" are the essence of Ballads. When asked why attempt such an undertaking, Coltrane replied "Variety."

Pressed at QRP, each UHQR is packaged in a deluxe box and will include a booklet detailing the entire process of making a UHQR along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection.
