I have been a big Coltrane fan for many years and thought that I had collected almost everything that he commercially released, a real favorite was the Impulse Years Box Set.
Recently, I was going through the Coltrane section of vinyl at the local record store and came across Coltrane Infinity. I hadn't heard of that one and it turns out it was released by his wife Alice after he passed away. It was released several years after his death actually. What is notable is that it is Coltrane tracks with orchestration applied over the top of them. Here is what www.allmusic.com says about the album:

Recorded at several sessions in the two years prior to his death but not issued until 1972, Infinity was the subject of much controversy among Coltrane aficionados when it finally appeared. The horror on the part of Coltrane purists was directed to the posthumous string arrangements written by Alice Coltrane, his widow, which were grafted onto the performances. But however much the strings softened or unnecessarily augmented the music, it must be said that Alice Coltrane really didn't do such a bad job and the ultimate result is an unusual and oddly attractive work. The juxtaposition of the fiery, very free playing of late Coltrane against the dreamy, consonant strings is seductively appealing and one might even make the argument that, given the increasing mystical proclivities of his later years and the presence of Eastern instruments in his ensemble, he may well have approved. The pieces include some of his more powerful late compositions such as "Leo" and "Peace on Earth," and his playing (with a rare smidgen of bass clarinet) is typically inspired, if not reaching the raging heights of releases like Live in Japan. Whatever problems the Coltrane ideologue may have with his wife's embroideries, Infinity still deserves a place in his/her collection.

I have played it several times and I think it is quite compelling, interesting because it is one of the lowest rated of all Coltrane releases.

This is a great post. I am not into Jazz at all but you hit upon so many pieces of the vinyl hobby that I just had to reply. Finding a record in a bin you may not even knew existed. I looked on allmusic and couldn't determine that this ever came out on CD...even better. Loving an album even though the critics may have passed over it.

It's why I can't understand how people can brag about how good their digital is and how they can now get rid of their analog. There's just stuff that is not available any other way!

I met Pumpkinman at DDs last Thursday night and was at checkout with about a dozen lps in hand, plus he had 3 boxes of classical lps in trunk for me, and then I saw a 180g version of Kind of Blue, $36. I held it a minute, but Pman talked me down, as he knew I had the dualdisc version already. Still...

Too many albums to put here but if it's okay to list reel to reel tapes:
Joe Cocker - Self Titled
Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Rolling Stones - Through The Past, Darkly
It's real nice to have some analog tunes downstairs again.

The first thing that grabs the listener about John Mellencamp's No Better Than This is its sound: mono — recorded live to an Ampex 601 tape recorder circa 1955, with a single microphone without mixing or overdubs. It's warmth and presence are immediate and engulfing. Mellencamp and T-Bone Burnett cut the album while on tour supporting, Life Death Love and Freedom, Mellencamp's celebrated precursor. This album was cut in some very famous locales: First African Baptist Church in Savannah, GA (the first African American Christian church in North America), Sun Studios in Memphis, and in Room 414 of the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, TX, where Robert Johnson recorded "Stones in My Passway" in 1936.

About 200 12" 45's. Great stuff, massive dynamics when the whole side of the record is one song!

Cool. I was just listening to Greendale by Neil Young, which is one or two songs per side thinking how great it sounded.

My favorite 12" single is Superman by the Kinks. Such an odd cultural moment; I've got more than a few remixes with skull-crushing dynamics. Have fun working through that haul! I seldom get the urge to go there again.

From DD, spent $60 on about a dozen classical, including some DG boxed sets for pocket lint, then
'Tea For The Tillerman" - Cat Stevens
"Dave Mason" - Dave Mason
And the killer, at $18, a shiny new still shrink-wrapped copy of,
"Blue Trane" - John Coltrane

I should have spent more time in the .50 cent room with P-man.

I had been listening to Trane on the ride up, so I was an easy mark for Blue Trane.
