Title: Coltrane collectors take caution
Review: This box earns four stars (and should earn five) simply for the quality of the performances. On stage, the classic Coltrane quartet stretched the tunes out, often to more than double the studio length, building to incredible levels of intensity. There's no complaint with the music on this collection--eight hours of Coltrane at arguably his peak. But the record company has been careless (if not blatantly dishonest) with the recording information. The worst example is where they mislabel one set as "Hamburg 1961 (previously unreleased)" when in fact it is a frequently issued 1962 recording from Birdland in NYC. There are other similar errors.
