which is original Ballads pressing, the one with van gelder in dead wax or the orange label with Bell Sound in dead wax?

Thanks Al — will do! … The Ashley Kahn book on the Impulse! label (‘The House That Trane Built’) is superb reading and amongst the best references on the label i’ve seen published yet. Highly recommended.

Coltrane was my first love jazzwise and so a fair few of my Coltrane LPs are, like Ballads, later UK Jasmine issues, bought when I knew nothing (or cared) about labels/pressings. Impulse originals don’t compare to Blue Note in quality but are nice to own nevertheless. I recently bought Ashley Kahn’s book on the label, though haven’t had the time to read it yet!

I’m not sure what happened to the e-commerce system I set up to handle sales, but, as Geraint says, the item has been sold. Thanks. — al

I just looked. Actually, it’s just a later pressing with the green label and the gatefold cover.

Hello, So wonderful to find a site dedicated to my favorite records! Just got started perusing the content but already the BlueNote labeling info and the price guides are obviously invaluable. Looks like i got a new place to hang out, thank you! jorge, SoulJazzBass
