Release Date:09/23/2014;Notes:2014 deluxe 180 G audiophile vinyl LP pressing in a gatefold sleeve. Resonance Records achieves the highest possible audio quality, using direct transfers of original master reels from a location recording by Temple's WRTI-FM, re-mastered at 96kHz/24 bit, that were tracked down by Coltrane scholar Yasuhiro Fujioka.
