On September 15, 1957, John Coltrane went into Rudy Van Gelder’s studio and created a 40+ minute masterpiece that is considered one of the greatest jazz albums of all time

“Blue Train” is a groundbreaking blues-infused hard-bop five-song excursion that intoxicates with power and poetry, ferocity and finesse, frenzy and tenderness. Celebrating the 65th anniversary of the recording, “Blue Train” is not only available in two different editions within the Tone Poet LP series, the “Complete Masters” variant also includes the original album in stereo plus alternate and incomplete previously unreleased takes on 2 CDs.

1LP Mono Edition: fully analog mastered by Kevin Gray from the original tapes, RTI pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on gatefold, padded inner sleeve.
