Description

A Love Supreme is Coltrane’s spiritual magnum opus — a transcendent four-part suite that channels devotion, discipline, and divine inspiration. This 180g gatefold reissue is part of the Acoustic Sounds Series, mastered from the original tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and pressed at Quality Record Pressings. The packaging features a Stoughton tip-on jacket and faithfully restored artwork, delivering audiophile-grade warmth and clarity.

Recorded in one session at Van Gelder Studio in 1964, the album features Coltrane’s classic quartet: McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums). From the meditative chant of “Acknowledgement” to the ecstatic climax of “Psalm,” this edition captures the full emotional arc of Coltrane’s spiritual awakening.
