Reviews
I just bought this version and realized that only the first half of 'Alabama' is on it. Does anyone else have this issue?
As close as I can get to John Coltrane's live magic is listening to this recording. The band is on fire and so is John Coltrane. His playing is spiritual, emotional, lyrical, but never spun out or dipping in energy. The solo closing I Want To Talk About You is especially meaningfull. A genius in action. It's a very fine recording and pressing too. Great, great record. Get it, please and live a better life listening to it every once in a while.referencing Live At Birdland (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Heavy Vinyl, Gatefold) IMP-198
is the version of “alabama” really 5
min? many versions still say 5min eben if they have the 2 min version.
Label says 2:23 for Alabama but can confirm this pressing contains the full 5:05 blend of takes- Edited one year ago
referencing Live At Birdland (LP, Album, Reissue) MCA-33109
Likely released around 1987-88, possibly 1989. My copy with same catalog # and bar code has silver hype sticker:
KM Burbank, California. CUSTOM PRESSED ON KC 569 BLEND PREMIUM VINYL. AUDIOPHILE
I have several other Coltrane pressings from this series. They sound great and the vinyl is indeed very nice. 
Edited one year agoQuiet and Flat record and... flat sound :(
No default but lifeless pressing.
This great album should be repress by Tone Poet or speaker Corner or a serious team.
referencing Live At Birdland (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Heavy Vinyl, Gatefold) IMP-198
This is a clear, clean pressing. No problems on either side
The pressings before this contained Alabama takes 4+5 which lead the timing to be 5:05 and these later reissues only contain take 5 which has a timing of 2:23
referencing Live At Birdland (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Heavy Vinyl, Gatefold) IMP-198
I 'm a little suspicious on the source of this LP. The 1963: New directions boxset released in 2018 has Coltrane's sax hard pan left. This version is panned right. The version from the boxset is from AS-50 as well as The Classic Quartet complete studio recordings CD. Maybe some can shed some light on this. This version is NOT hard panned to the right otherwise the simplest explanation would be the channels was switched when they cut it.- This repress contains only the (2:23) take 5 of “Alabama,” not the (5:05) takes 4 & 5 as listed on label and jacket.
