Quincy Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) I just have the last three titles (well, I have "other" too). Sun Ship & First Meditations were neck and neck but First finished first. Somehow I picked up a fair bit of pre-'65 and post but I missed the other titles on the list.

Rosco Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Aw, don't make me choose!!! Had to go with Transition in the end, largely because it features 'Dear Lord', one of the most sheerly beautiful of Coltrane's compositions and a rare oasis of reflective calm in the turbulence of the post-Love Supreme period. Rest of the album's great too. But I wouldn't want to be without any of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 A qualified vote for First Meditations since I don't own Transition. Also really like Sun Ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I guess I didn't notice that the ALS referred to was the Antibes version (which I think was issued by BYG Japan originally)... that's heavy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I think I maybe first saw it on some non-BYG bootleg label ca. 1975. Don't know if that pre-dates the JApanese BYG issue, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 That sounds like the right year to me... I could swear I fingered (not stink-fingered, mind you) a Jap BYG of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Probably a parallel issue or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) ALS from Antibes was first released - on vinyl - on an Italian bootleg label Ingo, before it got wider distribution on the Esoldun CD 'Love Supreme' which was released in 1987 and then disappeared when Esoldun was hit by an adverse court order. The Impulse DeLuxe CD got this performance an official release and distribution! No BYG release for that one!

clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Aha, thanks for the explanation! Still, Japanese BYGs are cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Ingo, yeah, that's the label I saw. Didn't somebody have a boot of it called "A Live Supreme"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I thought that was the Ingo of The Supremes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) studio tunes from various albums, including the alternate takes: Nature Boy (the alternate take) Consequences -from First Meditations Feelin' Good Dear Lord Living Space -without the strings overdubs very accessible tunes by coltrane 1965 standards. and Consequences always reminded me of Equinox. for his studio recordings, the 1960-64 period is still my favorite. >>replace above 'Consequences' with 'Compassion' from the same suite.
