“Acoustic Sounds’ UHQR 45rpm double-LP vinyl reissue of Coltrane’s ‘A Love Supreme’ is a wonder, better-sounding than any previous edition, including the original pressing.” — Fred Kaplan, X

“…you will surely appreciate the sonic differences between the Verve Acoustic Sounds 33 1/3 edition, which is really good with this UHQR, which is, to say it in technical terms ‘insanely better’ and the proverbial ‘window into the studio’ when the session was recorded. In what ways? Every way, actually. You’ll hear it from the opening tam-tam hit-especially if you’ve been playing this album for fifty years! The background quiet is noticeably better than even the quietest regular QRP pressing. Tyner’s piano appears in three dimensional space, Jones’s stick work on cymbals and woody rim shots startle. The difference between this version and every other one including Smith’s cut from the same tape at the same time is not subtle and if your system has the resolution you’ll immediately hear it and be glad you made the $150 investment. I know I am! … if this album is meaningful to you and you want by far the best sounding version ever released, this is it.” — Music = 11/11; Sound = 11/11 — Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com. To read Fremer’s full review click here.

Audiophile reviews rave about saxophone master John Coltrane’s immortal Impulse! records, A Love Supreme (1964) and Ballads (1963). In fact, jazz critics have lauded A Love Supreme as Coltrane’s most important recording. The rave reviews which appeared in the magazines Downbeat, Jazz Hot, Jazz Podium and Swingjournal reflected this: critics all over the world, in America, Europe and Japan recognized that Coltrane’s deep religious belief had influenced both his approach to life and his music-making.

You’re about to experience A Love Supreme at its peak of vinyl perfection — in UHQR format on Clarity Vinyl, with the added bonus of a double 45 RPM cut by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. Ryan’s cut has his characteristic clarity and transparency all set against Quality Record Pressing’s usual noiseless backgrounds on 200-gram flawless records. Each UHQR will be packaged in a deluxe box and will include a booklet detailing the entire process of making a UHQR along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection. This will be a truly deluxe, collectible product.
