Also is this a good copy?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Coltrane-A-Love-Supreme-180-Gram-Black-Swirls-Colored-Limited-Edition/273943259786?epid=78382012&hash=item3fc84a6a8a:g:gMgAAOSwj4ldDR7c

I want to buy this record so any help is appreciated.

Thanks

It's hard to tell.  There's no distinctive UPC or catalog number that I can see in the listing.  It says 2003, but no version was released that year according to Discogs.  Since it says "black swirls" my guess is it's this one.  https://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-A-Love-Supreme/release/12337205  The ratings look pretty good for it.  If you end up doing it, let me know how it is.  It's one of the versions I'm considering.

Of course Impulse calls everything GR-155.  
So... is that the single LP (not the 3x LP with the outtakes) 
And is that regular black or the translucent black smoke from the Sound of Vinyl?  If it's a new copy straight black, then I think I have that one and have some non fill on B.  Could be my copy if yours is dead quiet all the way to the end. 

Its the regular black.  Mine seems quiet all the way through.  Didn't notice any distortion at all. Not sure where its from as it was a xmas gift from my sister in law.

Thanks Abe.  Could be my copy.  I guess this is another excuse to add to my "Damn, why do I have four of these?" collection.  

I am still hoping I come across one of the 2013 AP Kevin Gray cuts of this for a good price.

Yeah but every time I look, they are 200 plus.  AP should do some reissues.  There's a handful I'd love to own.  That's at the top. 

No doubt, I would be a repress of that, yesterday. lol

Is the Newbury Comics cut any good?

There are so many cuts of this record. I would have to go back and look and see which ones are the best. I know the Wes Garland cut is average... and lots of newer versions use it's plates. One of the newer TML cuts is supposedly better, haven't heard it.

I have TML cut.  It's good, but I get static during the bass solo on side 2.  It's a damn shame.  It's possible I need to play with the anti-skate though.

Waiting for a repress of that one.They will one day.

I got motivated and went to the AP site and ordered Monk's Dream and Steamin with Miles Davis Quintent, both cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.

Nice! Monk's Dream is classic. That Impex pressing is great. I actually considered getting the MFSL 1-step but didn't.

Yeah isn't that  like 150 to 200?  I can't imagine it's that much better than an AP at retail price of 35 bucks.

Yea, $125. I only have  one 1-Step (What's Going On). Should have picked up the Santana, if for nothing else resell, but I didn't see it as something I wanted already having the MFSL at the time.

Those AP Prestige Miles pressings are phenomenal as well.

If my budget was such that $275 for an LP was doable, I'd go with the Analogue Productions based on how much I like the LP's they put out that I do have already (but don't have this Coltrane).  But for my money, the Impulse GR-155 Limited Edition that I do have is great and I'm very happy with it.  It's still out there minty for $30:

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/594243?ev=rb

I used to have an original early pressing but it was a bit worn out from my early days of having mediocre turntables/cartridges, so I sold it and got the above.  It sounds great.

Good feedback there Brian.  I'll check this one out.  I definitely don't have a 1995.  I'm also not inclined to spend the AP $, but if it went back to press and was $50, I would do it in a minute.

Yeah, for $50 an AP Love Supreme would be most excellent!
