John Coltrane~Original US LP Impressions NM '62 Impulse A42 MONO RVG Deep Groove

John Coltrane

Impressions

Rare Original 1st Press US LP released in 1963 on Impulse Records. Cat: A42. This album is in MONO. Comes in heavy weight original gatefold sleeve. Has Van Gelder stamped in runout groove. 

One of John Coltrane's great LPs of the early '60s, Impressions might seem like a hodgepodge, with tracks from three different sessions in three different years. The two long tracks "Impressions" and "India" come from Coltrane's November 1961 stand at the Village Vanguard, and together they represent the poles of Coltrane's conception at the time. "Impressions," a personal variant of "So What" that Coltrane had long explored as a member of the Miles Davis quintet, is an uptempo tenor onslaught, a blistering, sustained exploration in which Coltrane and drummer Elvin Jones established new parameters for intensity and sheer physicality. "India," a variant on the earlier "Mr. Knight," has Coltrane's soprano and Eric Dolphy's bass clarinet keening over two pulsing basses, piano, and drums, pressing jazz toward hypnotic depths. Balancing those extraordinary live performances are more compact studio recordings. "Up 'Gainst the Wall," from 1962, is a tautly convoluted blues without piano. "After the Rain," a gorgeous original ballad.

Tracks : India/ Uo 'gainst the wall/ Impressions/ After the rain.

Labels are lovely and clean with only one tiny tear on centre hole A-side label. Record has a few very light scuff marks. Album plays in Near Mint condition. Cover has a few light marks on inside of gatefold otherwise is in Near Mint condition.
