No way would I trade a US RVG stamp for an AS. I suspect I’m going to sit on my hands with this one as I have the Org 2x45 (which I don’t like because it obviously splits the sides) and as others have said there isn’t much wrong with the CD. I’d love an RVG or good Japanese cut though as it is one of my favourite Coltrane albums.
To be honest the Blues & The Abstract Truth has somewhat dampened my enthusiasm for this AS series. There is nothing ‘wrong’ with it, it is a lovely record, but I much prefer the dynamics and visceral attack of my green-label Japanese copy. I like the ALS though, but my Japanese copy of that is sadly worn (the original owner clearly loved the last track!). That is an album I would love to stumble across a US original at a good price.
PS I recently grabbed a beautiful Japanese white-label promo of Interstellar Space and that thing is bloody amazing. One of my favourite Coltrane albums done! They are in the room with me. Got a very nice Japanese copy of Om too.
