John Coltrane is, by universal acclaim, one of the half-dozen or so most important artists in the history of jazz. Original Atlantic producer Joel Dorn supervised this reissue from the earliest generation masters Coltrane recorded during his 1959-1961 stint with the label.

There are a few minor scuffs on the corners of the box itself. The records and jackets are all in excellent condition. I purchesed this new 16 years ago and have decided to sell it because I have an additional copy of the set. It is #2667 of a limited edition of 3000.
