Description
THESE ARE 2 ORIGINAL MONO TEST PRESSING RECORDS OF JOHN COLTRANE'S "BAHIA" ISSUED ON STATESIDE (UK-EMI) CATALOG NUMBER SL10162. AN EQUIVALENT OF PRESTIGE PRLP 7353, BOTH ISSUED IN 1965.
Then, Bob Weinstock, the founder of Prestige, always licensed his original master tapes out to UK's EMI for his UK version of Prestige. And sometimes the UK versions sounded better because of their quality of studios (Decca or EMI) and quality of wax they put on.
The test pressing discs were always the first vinyl produced, especially the mono one. We cannot know the number they produced but "very few" and always kept secret from public. They were used in-house exclusively for engineers and producers for quality control purpose.
These are one-side discs. Disc one contain 3 songs: Bahia, Goldsboro Express, and My Ideal. Disc two contain 2 songs: I'm a Dreamer, and Something I Dreamed Last Night.
Personnel included John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Wilbur Hardin (trumpet on disc one--3, and disc two--1,2), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Taylor (drums on disc one--1,2), Jimmy Cobb (drums on disc one--3, and disc two--1,2).
BOTH DISCS ARE VISUALLY GRADED MINT- AND PLAYED BETWEEN VG+/VG++ WITH NOT SO LOUND BACKGROUND NOICES INTERMITTENTLY.
PLAYED SMOOTH. NO SKIP OR REPEATED.
