• The complete original 1960 album ‘Coltrane Plays the Blues’ (originally on Atlantic) - a thematic album consisting of six pieces based on the blues, and recorded at the same long session as most of the numbers on ‘Coltrane's Sound’.

• Another track recorded during this session and four extra blues from the same period, presenting Coltrane as the only horn, have been added as a bonus.

• Pianist McCoy Tyner sits out on “Blues to Bechet” (on which ‘Trane plays soprano sax) and “Blues to You”, reducing the band to a trio on these tracks.
