John Coltrane: Blue Train

**** - Daniel1708

Releases like Blue Train are why labels like Blue Note can piss you off as a consumer. After a while Blue Note had already issued arguably its greatest release two times previously on CD. The drastically improved-upon reissue of Blue Train that included all of the alternate takes from the session set to right one mysteriously lifted piano solo in the master take of the title track. It also came with cool pictures and a CD-ROM. So what does the Rudy van Gelder edition add to make you buy it once more? Marginally better sound. But that's not a recommendation to purchase it. If Blue Note had any integrity regarding this reissue — and the label should, given the album's enormous stature in the classic jazz catalog — it would have issued the CD-ROM and the photos as part of this package. Musically, this does contain the alternate takes issued on the 1997 version but requires one to purchase an incomplete package to get better sound. Had this been issued as DVD audio it would have made sense because it is a completely different format. This is just nonsense and a ploy to get you to shell out more cash for something that is clearly inferior to what you already paid for as a fan. And while audiophiles will have to have the better sound and grumble because their obsession won't let them sleep, everyone else should just leave this version alone and be content with the formerly "ultimate" Blue Train until the label gets it right and issues the package whole. Maybe they'll do that next time and try to get you to buy it again. - Greger
