Blue Note 

1xLP (Mono) and 2xLP (Complete Masters)

Blue Train is among the shortlist of albums that regularly get recommended to those looking to dip their toes into jazz. It's by no means the most experimental, the most visceral or daring of Coltrane's works, nor is it the most impressive lineup 'Trane lead. But there is an intangible magic at work, that Blue Note wizard Rudy Van Gelder was able to capture (in his living room) for Coltrane's only album on the venerable label. It's among the prettiest albums in his discography, which immediately makes it among the prettiest jazz albums ever.

The Tone Poet reissues come in Mono and Stereo cuts. The double-LP Stereo version comes with a booklet as well as a disc of unreleased and incomplete masters, four of which have never been heard before.
