John Coltrane – Giant Steps: 60th Anniversary Edition (180g Vinyl 2LP)

$65.00

60th Anniversary Deluxe 180g Vinyl 2LP Reissue featuring New 2020 Remaster Plus Bonus Disc of Alternate Takes and 12-Page Booklet!

While John Coltrane first gained attention for his revolutionary ‘sheets of sound’ technique, it was the deep spirituality of his music that really made his recordings as a bandleader such classics. The albums Coltrane recorded for Atlantic in 1959 and 1960 represent the heart of his unparalleled legacy. Released in 1960, Giant Steps may have been Coltrane’s fifth album as leader, but it was the first one that really made an impact within the jazz community. It was also his first album for Atlantic and the fact that it was released on a major label rather than Prestige, which was known almost entirely as a jazz label, didn’t hurt its chances at being heard by a larger audience either.

60th Anniversary Deluxe 180g vinyl 2LP reissue with new 2020 remaster of original album plus a bonus disc of alternate takes and versions – including rehearsal and incomplete tracks, as well as false starts – only previously included in The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings of John Coltrane boxed set. This 2LP configuration also features a 12″ x 12″ 12-page booklet and comes packaged in a replica of the original 1960 stereo pressing, with a 12″ x 12″ album cover insert included.
