...As good as the original Impulse pressing sounds,
Analogue Productions release will leave lovers of this record pinned
to their seats. The music is simply and stunningly there. - Wayne
Garcia, The Absolute Sound, September 2010
Kevin Gray s new 45RPM mastering of John Coltrane s masterpiece A Love Supreme
is an absolute must-buy I know what many are thinking...hey, I have
the one Kevin did for Speakers Corner a few years ago, or if they re
very, very lucky they might have an original orange label pressing on
Impulse. Hopeless collector that I am, I have both. Folks, I m here to
tell you that Kevin s 45RPM remaster of this wondrous Coltrane session
is the deepest, clearest view into the session that took place December 9th,
1964 at Rudy Van Gelder s Englewood Cliff s studio that ever existed.
Sure, there are other ways to hear the music recorded that day, but none
will literally transport you back in time to witness the living,
breathing essence of the music this quartet recorded that day quite like
these two 45RPM records. If you love this music like I do, you
absolutely OWE it to yourself to buy this album. - Joe Harley, VP

...As with the first six titles
in this series, Analogue Productions went out of its way to make sure
they reproduced the cover correctly. The beautifully laminated gatefold
is made of heavy cardstock...For those who have listened to this record a
lot over the years, this 45 RPM mastering is going to hit you over the
head - and hard. From Elvin Jones opening gong, to the final crescendo of Psalm, this 45 RPM pressing of A Love Supreme,
is delivered with a degree of detail, and most of all dynamic range,
that I haven t heard on any other version - vinyl or CD, of this album.
45 RPM Reissue of the Year - My Vinyl Review, November 2010
Right
from the very first hearing, absolutely every single jazz critic shared
the same opinion - whether trained musicians or not, true or would-be
jazz expert: A Love Supreme is John Coltrane s most important recording. And the rave reviews which appeared in the magazines Downbeat, Jazz Hot, Jazz Podium and Swingjournal
reflected this: critics all over the world, in America, Europe and
Japan recognized that Coltrane s deep religious belief had influenced
both his approach to life and his music-making. It not only enabled him
to express himself with great intensity but also lent him the necessary
inner peace to conceive a work of almost 40 minutes in length and to
lead his quartet along the same path as himself.
Recorded in 1964.
